Cuts in Welfare Benefits 
Feed Swedes’ Discontent 

Anxiety Spreads as Social Democrats 
Propose Even Bigger Trims in System 

By Richard W. Stevenson 

lyw York Tunes Service 

STOCKHOLM — In the last six de- 
cades, Sweden built one of the world’s 
most generous and successful social wel- 
fare systems, providing its citizens with a 
lifelong array of benefits that helped them 
. maintain a high standard of living through 
gpod times and bad. 

- But now, unable to afford the bill, the 
dnnxtxy is being forced to pare social wel- 
fare spending. 

Although the cuts have so far hardly 
seen Draconian, there is widespread anxi- 
ety that the system, long seen as the model 
br combining socialist welfare policies 
with vibrant capitalism, could collapse un- 
der its own economic weight. 

The strains are already beginning to 
show. Despite Sweden’s commitment to 
tfoviding child care, offi cials in some ar- 
eas have had to reduce spending on subsi- 
dized day-care centers. 

In the last few years, reductions have 
.been made in unemployment insurance'

rjob. Among the proposals likely to be 
enacted in co ming months is a SI7 reduc- 
tion in the 5100 monthly payment provid- 
ed to every family for each cmld regardless 
of need. 

' It is particularly unsettling to many 
-Swedes that the most recently proposed 
cuts, the deepest so far, are being carried 


out under the party that built the system, 
the leftist Social Democrats. 

The party, the dominant political force 
since the 1930s, regained power in elec- 
tions last fall after three years in opposi- 
tion, in part because voters fdt that the 
conservative government had gone too far 
in dismantling Sweden’s liberal system. 

“We are just nine milli on people, and we 
should be able to take care of each other,” 
said Annelie Drevstam, an assistant at a 
Stockholm photo agency. “It’s a new prob- 
lem for Sweden that we have people living 
an the streets, and if I have to pay more in 
taxes or get less child allowance to help, 
I’m willing to do it" 

Yet, Sweden already imposes one of the 
world’s heaviest tax burdens to pay fen* its 
social largess, with total government re- 
cezptsin 1993 amounting to 583 percent of 
gross domestic product, compared with 
31.1 percent in the United States. 

The Swedish system provides, amo 
other benefits, a guarantee of close to a f 
income in cases of and unemploy- 

ment It covers medical care and subsidizes 
educational costs, sets minimum retire- 
ment income and provides paid leaves of 
absence for new parents. 

But faced with one of the developed 
world’s worst budget deficits and plagued 
fay a stubbornly high unemployment rate

Dutch Rivers Start to Ebb , 
But Dikes Remain in Peril 


By William Drozdiak 
Washington Pest Service 

AMSTERDAM ; — Rivers that havo in- 
undated vast tracts of the Netherlands in 
Europe’s heaviest floods this century start- 
ed to reccde on Thursday, raising hopes 
that more than a qttarter-millicra people 
who fled their homes may soon beable to 
return.'^ "■ '■ 

' Hundred of. soldiers and volunteers - 
worked through the night to shore up 
ijfikes, but the authorities warned that the 
tsituation remained critical because the re- 
inforced earthen dams could still give way 
under the pressure of swollen riven rush- 
ing toward the North Sea. 

Near the town of Ochten, about 20 kilo- 
meters (12 miles) west of Nijmegen, where 
water began seeping through the saturated 
barriers and caused panic Wednesday, en- 
gineers worked feverishly to repair broken 
sections of dikes along the river WaaL 

More than a thousand trades dumped 
tons of sand during the night in an effort to 
protect low-lying villages and farms, which 
risk being submerged under ax meters (20 
feet) erf water if the dams collapse. 

-“The water levels appear to be stabiliz- 
ing, but that doesn't mean there is no 
danger,” said Ger Bodewitz, a spokesman 
for the Dutch Interior Ministry. “It’s diffi- 
cult to make any predictions because the 
dikes are soaked and it’s still possible they 
will break." 

The bright sunshine that bathed West- 


ern Europe on Thursday after days of 
pelting rain sparked optimism that the 
worst of the flooding was over,

In the southern Dutch province of Lim- 
burg, where the flooding has subsided, 
15,000 people in the first wave of evacuees 
were allowed bad: to the area. But the 
inhabitant* were warned not to allow chil- 
dren to play near the mud because much of 

it was found to be contaminated by heavy 
metals from the polluted rivers. 

To guard against looting, the police pa- 
trolled communities that were transformed 
into ghost towns by the country’s largest 
peacetime evacuation in history. 

As the waters receded, a debate was 
raging over who should bear responsibility 
for neglect of the inland dikes. 

After a devastating storm surge in 1953 
overwhelmed sea dikes and caused the 
deaths of more than 1,800 people, the 
Dutch government invested in an elabo- 
rately engineered barrier to protect the 
southern coastal provinces.

as the Ddta project, succeeded in buttress-

U.S. Focuses on New Hot Spots in Balkans 


By Daniel Williams 

Washington Post Savin 

WASHINGTON — As international ef- 
forts to stan peace talks in Bosnia have 
faltered, the Clinton administration is 
turning its attention to two other troubled 
diplomatic fronts out of concern that the 
war may widen soon. 

Administration officials fear a domino 
effect from the Serbian refusal to discuss 
with the Muslim-led Bosnian government 
a partition plan that splits the country 
roughly in half. Tensions are rising be- 
tween the Muslims and their Croatian al- 
lies in an alliance of former ene- 


mies created at American behest last year 
to isolate the Bosnian Serbs. 

Also, Croatia is threatening to expel 
United Nations peace k eepers who stand 
between hs armies and an enclave of 
breakaway Croatian Serbs. Expulsion 
would probably mean war between Cro- 
atia and Serbia. 

A collapse of either the Croatian- Mus- 
lim arrangement in Bosnia or of UN 

te^fOT^^Iington’s policy aMrying to 
limit Balkan warfare to Bomia in hope of 
snuffing it out through negotiations. 

“The situation is very dose to the kind 
of disintegration that could set off a very 


dangerous chain reaction," said Richard 
C Holbrooke, assistant secretary of state 
for European and Canadian affairs. 

Mr. Holbrooke and Defense Secretary 
William J. Perry will meet Sunday with 
Croatian and Muslim leaders in Munich, 
while attending a European security con- 
ference. 

The administration has chosen to tend 
to these potential conflicts in part because, 
having given up on use of force, it has little 
leverage on the Bosnian Serbs. For the 
moment, there scans to be no prospect of a 
breakthrough in the talks. 

“There is no solution at this point," Mr.

Peace Process 
6 Qn Track’ in 
Middle East 

Israel (xnd Arab Leaders 
Agree to Revive Talks on 
Palestinian Autonomy 

Cenfikd by Our Staff From Dispatcher 

CAIRO — Egypt said Thursday that the 
Middle East peace process was “back on 
track” after participants at an unprece- 
dented Arab- Israeli summit meeting 
agreed to resume Palestinian autonomy 
talks and to hold a follow-up meeting in 
Washington. 

Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel 
and the Palestine liberation Organization 
leader, Yasser Arafat, are to meet next 
Thursday, after autonomy negotiations re- 
sume on Monday in Cairo, Foreign Minis- 
ter Amr Moussa of Egypt announced. 

“I believe that the talks, especially the 
IsraeK-Palestinian process, is back ou 
trade,” he said, after the summit meeting 
of Mr. Arafat, Mr. Rabin, President Hosni 
Mubarak of Egypt and King Hussein of 
Jordan. 

Mr. Arafat and Mr. Rabin will meet 
again at die Erez crossing point between 
the Gaza Strip and Israel, Mr. Moussa said 
at the end of the four-way summit meeting 
aimed at rescuing the Middle East peace 
process. 

Negotiations had been had been stalled 
since Muslim suicide bombers killed 21 
Israelis in an attack near the coastal resort 
town of Netanya on Jan. 22. 

Foreign minister s from Israel, Jordan, 
Egypt and thePLO will also meet in Wash- 
ington on Feb. 12, Mr. Moussa said. 

The Egyptian foreign minis ter said the 
summit meeting had failed to persuade 
Israel to ease the closure of the Palestinian 
temtories or to change its controversial 
policy cm Jewish settlement there. 

But he was optimistic nonetheless. “The 
peace process was frozen with the Palestin- 
ians,” Mr. Moussa said. “Now it is no 
more frozen because erf all the meetings 
that are going to be held soon." 

The summit meeting was the first to 
include Israel and the three Arab parties 
with which it has made peace, and was a 
dramatic show of unity. 

But disillusionment with the Israel-PLO 
agreement runs deep, and the Arabs’ abili- 
ty to stem murderous attacks by Islamic 
militants is uncertain at best. 

The key players — Mr. Rabin and Mr. 
Arafat — could find it difficult to cany out 
necessary concessions because they are al- 
ready facing internal criticism. 

The meeting, at the Inahadiya presiden- 
tial palace, started after sundown with a 
meal to break the daylong fast Muslims 
observe during the holy month of Rama- 
dan. 

The three visiting leaders met with Mr. 
Mubarak separately before the summit 
talks, but no one commented on those 
meetings. 

Earlier Thursday in Jerusalem, Mr. Ra- 
bin made it dear that an end to attacks on 
Israelis was the key to expanding autono- 
my in the West Bank and holding Palestin- 
ian elections, both dements of the Israeli- 
PLO accord signed in September 1993.

After the Cheers, Bitter Fallout From the Peso Rescue 

Europeans Protest U.S.RushatIMF Mexicans Fret Over New Pile of Debt 


By Nathaniel C Nash 

Non York Tana Service 

FRANKFURT — In an unusual protest 
against what tlrey considered to be heavy- 
handed U.S. tactics at the International 
Monetary Fond, five European countries 
abstained from supporting the Fund’s 
$173 billion . loan package for Mexico. 

Germany, Britain, Belgmnr/the Nether- 
lands and Switzerland withheld thfcir votes 
late Wednesday at the IMF headquarters 
in Washington, European officials said 
Thursday. The five complained that they 
had not been consulted on the 510 billion 
increase of credit to Mexico announced by 
President Bill Clinton late Tuesday as part 
of an em e rgency package to bolster confi- 
dence in the falling peso. 

“We think the package was put together 


with too much haste,” a German govern- 
ment official said, “and that the member 
countries did not have enough time to 
evaluate it.” The official asked that his 
name not be used. 

European officials said that despite their 

r it over being railroaded into approving 
package for Mexico, they agreed that 
the aid was needed and thus did not vote 
a gains t it. 

Officials of the governments said that 
not only were they caught by surprise 
when Mr. Clinton announced the increase 
lh IMF aid, from $7.6 billion, previously, 
but that they also received the documents 
on the agreement less than an hour before 
the Wednesday meeting at which they were

MEXICO CITY — Patricia Bayo tight- 
ened hergrip on a pair of new shoes at a 
Mexico City mall as she considered the $49 
billion international package of loans and 
loan guarantees the Gin ton administra- 
tion had arranged for her country. 

“Well,” she said with a courteous smile. 
“I think you should be very happy; you’re 
now the proud owners of Mexico. All I can 
say is, better you than the Japanese.” 

Contrary to President Ernesto Zedillo 
Ponce de Ledn’s efforts to portray the 
package as a victory for Mexico, Miss 
Bayo and other Mexicans interviewed re- 
acted with a mixture erf indignation and 
nervousness at the prospect of more red 
ink being added to Mexico's balance sheet. 


A year after celebrating the start of a 
partnership with the United States and 
Canada through the North American Free 
Trade Agreement, many Mexicans say 
they fed enslaved by an economic crisis 
that forced their president to plead to 
Washington for a bailout 
President Bill Clinton came to the rescue 
Tuesday, bypassing congressional opposi- 
tion and invoking executive authority to 
approve $20 billion in short-term loans 
and longer-term loan guarantees for Mexi- 
co. He also announced that the Interna- 
tional Monetary Fund and other nations 
had provided another $29.5 billion in cred- 
its and guarantees.

NEW DELHI — For the nizatns of Hyderabad, Muslim rulers 
erf fabled wealth whose authority once extended across much of 
southern India, the armored car that carried four steel trunks 
away from a Bombay bank vault last month was a punctuation 
mark to decades of declining fortune. 

The tranks, bound for a government strongroom in New 
Delhi, held a collection of jewels considered by experts to be one 
of the greatest ever assembled. - 

Among them was the fabled Jacob diamond, a duck's-egg-size 
162-carat stone bought by Hyderabad’s ruling family in 1891. It 
was used for much erf this century as a paperweight by Osman 
Ali Khan, the seventh and last nizam to rale the royal state. 

This was the first journey in more than 40 years for the jewels 
— diamonds, rabies, emeralds and pearls, many in gold settings, 
some acquired from the old royal courts of France and Russia. 

For more than half that tinte, they lave been the focus of a 
struggle between the Indian government and the bars of the 
seventh nizam, who placed the collection in the Bombay vault 
after his domain became part of independent India in 1947. 


The seventh nizam, who died in 1967, was known for his vast 
fortune and for his idiosyncratic ways, including a habit of 
hoarding cash that once led rats to chew their way through £3 
nfflio n ($4.7 million) in bank notes in a palace basement Wary 
of his family's profligacy, be tied up his fortune in a web of 
trusts. One of those held the jewelry collection, under terms that 
forbade its sale until after the death of his 61dm son, Azam Jah 
Bahadur. 

When that son died, in 1970, a battle opened with the Indian 
government that would continue for 24 years. Finally, it was 
settled by the Supreme Court last month. 

In a compromise between the heirs, who hoped to sell the 
jewels abroad, and the government, which contended that the 
jewels should become state property with no compensation, the 
court allowed the government to buy the treasure. 

Setting aside a valuation of $250 million to $300 million by 
Sotheby’s and Christie’s, the international auction houses, the 
court set a price equivalent to $71 million. 

For 200 of the heirs, including the present nizam, Mukkaram

WORLD BRIEFS 



Fratricidal French Socialists Set to Ihck a (Candidate Baiiadur Gives Deficit cuts Priority 

- Eilmian] RallndliT in 


By Joseph Fitchett 

International Herald Tribune 

PARIS Nothing seems to faze Henri 

Fmm amidH — including his pending trial in 
connection with illegal party financing — as 
be bids for the presidential nomination of 
France's distraught and fratricidal Socialist 

Pa J?combative personality with a sharp ver- 
bal jab, Mr. Emmanuelli. 49. seems unshakea 
by the political roller coaster that has laid his 
party low. It is the end of the ride after 14 
years under President Francois Mitterrand, 
the only Socialist president under the Fifth 
Republic. 

The Socialists — facing a massive shift to 
the right — seem headed for such a serious 
defeat that the party could disintegrate as a 
national force. As often in the past, after an 
interlude in power, the French left might 
spend decades in the desert before finding a 
new standard-bearer. 

The presidential campaign, instead of clos- 
ing Socialist ranks, has triggered self-destruc- 


tive competition among second-rank figures 
for control of the remains of the party. 

If Mr. Emmanuelli wins the nomination — 
as seems likely at a party conclave in Paris on 
Friday — it will be mainly because as first 
secretary he runs what is left of the party 
machine. 

The Socialist disarray surfaced in full force 
last month with the withdrawal of Jacques 
Delors, whose stature after 10 years as bead of 
the European Commission had promised a 
decent showing. 

No other candidate can offer more than 
mere electoral survival for the party — and 
perhaps not even that The latest polls shew 
the Socialists not even surviving the first 
round, at the end of April, leaving the run-off 
to be fought between two conservatives. 

That humiliation could fragment the party 
— precisely the situation that enabled Mr. 
Mitterrand to become the savior of French 
socialism in 1971, when he welded its several 
currents into a single movement that eventu- 
ally carried him to the presidency. 


The pervasive authority enjoyed by a 
French president helps explain the straits in 
which the Socialist Party finds itself. The 
absence of well-known personalities reflects 
Mr. Mitterrand's record of systematically de- 
stroying the careers of potential successors. 

Without attacking Mr. Mitterrand by 
name, Mr. Delors, in declining to be the 
candidate, dismissed the party as a discredit- 
ed force. 

Michel Rocard, a former prime minister 
who had seemed destined for the candidacy, 
has accused Mr. Mitterrand of shooting him 
down by anointing a rival, the business ty- 
coon and populist, Bernard Tapie — now 
effectively barred from politics by financial 
difficulties, including personal bankruptcy. 

The man who seemed set to take oyer the 
party at this juncture — Laurent Fabius, 48, 
considered a brilliant intellect and smooth 
operator — has been kept out of the race by 
the scandal of AIDS-contaminated blood 
products dispensed by state-run transfusion 
services while he was prime minister. 


To fill the vacuum, Lionel Jospin, 57, a 
former education minister and party leads’. 
. declared his candidacy, arguing that the party 
needed a fresh start. Although better known 
nationally, he lacks his rival’s political skills. 

Widely viewed as a stand-in to prevent any 
challenge to. Mr. Fabius’s future party con- 
trol, Mr. Emmanuelli is an unconditional sup- 
porter of Mr. Mitterrand. Still infused with 
the militancy of his Communist parents, Mr. 
Emmanuelli rose through ranks to party trea- 
surer — where he was accused of taking illegal 
contributions for the party. 

Mr. Emmanuelli, who has never been sus- 
pected of pereonal enrichment, dismisses the 
charge as political. But be stood scant chance 
of becoming the candidate until Mr. Mitter- 
rand intervened last week to veto a presiden- 
tial bid by Jack Lang, the former culture 
minister. 

Mr. Mitterrand apparently decided that a

Bosnian Sides Reject 
Paris Plan for Talks 


Mediators Also Have Doubts & 


Agence France- Prase 
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herze- 
govina — The Bosnian govern- 
ment, Serbia and key interna- 
tional negotiators lined up 
Thursday in rejecting French 
falls for an emergency summit 
meeting to galvanize the Bosnia 


Whue Bosnian officials in Sa- 
rajevo denounced the move, 
proposed Tuesday by Foreign 
Minister Alain Juppfc, as an at- 
tempt by the international com- 
munity to backtrack on com- 
mitments, President Slobodan 
Milosevic of Serbia described it 
as a waste of time. 

The timing of the proposal 
was also criticized by the Euro- 
pean Union negotiator, David 
Owen, and it has drawn a luke- 
warm response from Washing- 
ton. 

Mr. Juppe called for a new 
international conference to try 
to revive stalled negotiations 
between the Muslim-led gov- 
ernment in Sarajevo and the 
Bosnian Serbs before the fragile 
cease-fire, in operation since 
Jan. 1, expires on April 30. 

In Pans on Thursday, the 
Foreign Ministry spokeswom- 
an, Catherine Colonna, quoted 
Mr. Jnppfe as saying the plan 
had met with “fairly broad 
agreement” from partner coun- 
tries. adding that such a meet- 
ing would require “very careful 
preparation" by the five-nation 
“contact group" on Bosnia. 

The contact group, compris- 
ing Britain, France, Germany, 
Rusria and the United States, 
has temporarily shelved efforts 
to revive the bilateral Bosnia 


talks in the face of Serbian re- 
jection of its proposals to parti- 
tion the former Yugoslavia. 

But in Sarajevo, the Bosnian 
foreign minister, Irfan Ljubi- 
jankic, told Agence France- 
Presse that Mr. JuppiTs pro- 
posed conference would “dilute 
ah the results of the contact 
group so far.” He said, “We 
would not welcome such a 
thing.” 

In Belgrade, meanwhile, Mr. 
Milosevic said in a statement 
that he was opposed to the idea 
of a new peace conference and 
was pressing Bosnian Serbs to 
pursue negotiations with the in- 
ternational mediators. 

Lord Owen also poured cold 
water on the suggestion. He 
said it might be a good idea in 
the future, but added: “I don’t 
think that any of us believe that 
the time is right at the mo- 
ment” 

Earlier Thursday, the White 
House gave Mr. Juppd’s plan a 
cool reception, saying it would 
have to be p ainstaking ly pre- 
pared to succeed. 

■ Croatian Serbs Hold Out 

Croatian Serbian fighters re- 
main in battle positions in the 
north of the Bosnian enclave of 
Bihac despite retreating in the 
south, the United Nations said 
Thursday, Reuters reported 
from Zagreb, Croatia. 

A UN spokesman said the 
“intransigent" and “belliger- 
ent" Serbs, from the Krajina 
region of Croatia, bore prime 
responsibility for the fighting in 
Bihac, which has shaken the 
cease-fire agreement 



Russian General Expects a Limited Chechen Guerrilla War 


Compiled by Ow Staff From Dapatcba 

MOSCOW — The new official coordinating Rus- 
sia's fight to bring rebel Chechnya to heel said Thurs- 
day that Moscow faced a guerrilla war in the region, 
but that fighting would not spread throughout the 
northern Caucasus. 

“We are expecting the worst variant, a partisan 
war," said General Anatoli Kulikov of the Interior 
Ministry, whom President Boris N. Yeltsin appointed 
chief coordinator of the Chechnya campaign Wednes- 
day. 

“People will go into the ravines and from there 
aimed bands will launch raids and attacks, 1 ' he said at 
a news conference. 


“The turning point has not been reached, but there 
are signs of it," General Kulikov added saying the 
Russian military had fulfilled its mission of destroying 
the main Chechen forces, 

In Chechnya, Russian troop trying to end the rebel 
region's three-year bid for independence pounded Ar- 
gun, 12 kilometers (8 miles) east of the capital, Groz- 
ny, with artillery and mortar fire. 

But the Chechen fighters, who still hold parts of 
Grozny nearly eight weeks after the Russians inter- 
vened in the mountainous region, kept up stubborn 
resistance. 

Meanwhile, the newspaper Izvestia said Thursday 


Donald Pleasence, 75, British Character Actor, Dies 


LONDON — The British 
character actor Donald Plea- 
sence, 75, whose piercing blue 
eyes and bald pate made him a 
natural movie villain, died 
Thursday in France after a 
heart operation. 

Mr. Pleasence, who was ac- 
claimed for his stage role as the 
repugnant tramp Davies in 
Harold Pinter’s “The Caretak- 
er” in 1960, moved on to Holly- 
wood to give a string of con- 
vincing film portrayals of 
psychopaths and criminals. 

The actor, who appeared in 
“The Great Escape" war film as 
a shortsighted forger and as an 
elegant despot in the James 
Bond thriller "You Only Live 
Twice," had just finished his 
last role in the latest “Hallow- 
een” film when he died. 

“He played many villains be- 
cause he played them so well,” 
said his close friend, the direc- 
tor David Giles. “He could look 
amazingly malevolent although 
he was one of the least malevo- 
lent people I have ever met."

NEW YORK (NYT) — 
George Robert Stibitz, 90, 
whose mathematical calcula- 
tions and tinkering at the kitch- 
en table led him to invent the 
first digital computer in 1940. 
died Tuesday at his borne in 
Hanover, New Hampshire. He 
had been in declining health for 
about a year. 

Mr. Stibitz worked as a re- 
search mathematician at the 
BeD Telephone Laboratories in 
the 1930s. In 1937, he buQl a 
primitive electric contraption 
that added. It was made of dry- 
cell batteries, metal strips and 
flashlight bulbs soldered to 
wires from two telephone re- 
lays. A replica sits in the Smith- 
sonian Institution in Washing- 
ton. 

He and a Bell switching engi- 


neer, Samuel Williams, then ex- 
panded the machine into the 
closet-size Model 1 Complex 
Calculator and put it into rou- 
tine operation at the beginning 
Of 1940. That version solved 
problems faster than 100 hu- 
man operators with mechanical 
desk calculators.

Politicians in Ulster Vow to Keep Talks Going 


Return 

LONDON — Politicians in Northern 
Ireland pledged Thursday to keep the 
British-lrish peace drive on track after it 
was plunged into crisis by a newspaper 
leak. 

Prime Minister John Major of Britain 
made a rare nationwide address Wednes- 
day to try to limit damage from the 
report, which said that London and 
Dublin had formulated a plan to create a 
joint north-south authority with impor- 
tant executive powers. 

The report in The Times of London, 
enraged pro- British Protestants in 


Northern Ireland. In it they saw confir- 
mation of their worst fears — that the 
British-ruled province would one day be 
reunited with the Republic of Ireland. 

But David Irvine, a leader of the Pro- 
gressive Unionists, which is linked to the 
Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant 
paramilitary group, said Thursday that a 
cease-fire would continue. He stopped 
short of calling for the document to be 
scrapped. 

“I am not for ripping up the frame- 
work document per se, bui I think realis- 
tically we need to look at that which will 
work,” he told BBC radio. 


Mr. Irvine's commitment not to break 
the truce was echoed by Pal Doherty, 
vice president of Sinn Fein, the political 
wing of the Irish Republican Army. 

“There is a total and complete com- 
mitment to developing this peace pro- 
cess. and this has been well demonstrat- 
ed for over five months,", he said. 

Mr. Major's address was an appeal to 
the people of Ulster, who are enjoying 
their longest spell of peace in 25 years. 

“Nothing is going to be imposed in 
Northern Ireland.” he said, adding: “I 
ask for time, and I ask for trust. And I 
promise to pursue a lasting peace."

New York Timer Service 

PARIS — A detained oppo- 
sition figure in the Algerian Is- 
lamic movement has warned 
the government against carry- 
ing out plans for a presidential 
election this year, saying such a 
move would lead to more 
bloodshed in a civil conflict that 
has already taken 30,000 lives. 

The warning was made in a 
letter written by Ah Belhadj, 
the second-highest official in 
Algeria’s dominant Islamic op- 
position party, the Islamic Sal- 
vation Front It was published 
Wednesday but was dated Jan. 
27, three days before a suicide 
car-bomb attack outride an Al- 
gerian police headquarters that 
killed 42 people and wounded 
286. 

The letter was published by a 
London-based Arabic daily, A1 
HayaL 

Mr. Belhadj is widely be- 
lieved to command a large fol- 
lowing among Algeria’s under- 
ground Armed Islamic Group 
and the Islamic Salvation 
Army, the Front’s military 
wing. He is deputy to Abassi 
Madam, who heads the Front. 
. Both men were jailed three 
years ago and were released on 
house arrest in Algiers last year. 

In his letter, addressed to Al- 
geria's minister of information, 
Mr. Belhadj noted that “talk of 
presidential elections in these 
circumstances will not solve the 
crisis but make it far deeper and 
more dangerous." 

“And the next few days wDl 

demonstrate so,” be added. 

Mr. Belhadj rejected a recent 
offer by the government to for- 
give Islamic extremists who 
turn themselves in. He said that 
those who picked up weapons 
to fight “the oppressive ruling 
clique” would not be “fooled 
with such procedures, which 
can only fool opportunists.” 

Algerian officials blamed Is- 
lamic fundamentalist guerrillas 
for the bombing of Monday, 
but none of the armed Islamic 
groups that usually issue state- 
ments after such assaults have 
taken responsibility for the at- 
tack. 

One Islamic Salvation Front 
official, Ali Djeddi. who was 
released from jail a year ago, 
was quoted Wednesday in an 
Algiers newspaper as saying the 
bombing was “revolting and in- 
comprehensible." 

But in tracts circulated in Al- 
geria, the Islamic Salvation 
Army called upon its fighters to 
intensify their attacks during 
the holy month of Ramadan, 
which started this week, urging 
them to kill 5,000 people. An 
estimated 1,500 were killed last 
year during Ramadan. 

The authenticity of such 
tracts has been controversial, 
with some Algerians and for- 
eign experts in Algerian affairs 
claiming that they are produced 
by government intelligence offi- 
cers to damage Islamic parties. 

President Li amine Zeroual's 
announced plans to hold a pres- 
idential referendum this year 
have been rejected by aD oppo- 
sition parties, including the two 
main secularist parties, the Na- 
tional Liberation Front and the 
Front for Socialist Forces. 

The parties, which met last 
month in Rome with some Is- 
lamic opposition leaders, ar- 
gued that elections were intend- 
ed only to perpetuate the 
military-backed regime with 
hand-picked candidates pre- 
senting no real alternative to 
voters. 

President Zeroual, a former 
general, reiterated his determi- 
nation to hold the presidential 
referendum this year during a 
visit on Tuesday to hospitalized 
victims of the latest bombing.

Walesa Moves to Dissolve Parliament 

WARSAW (AFP) — President Lech Walesa rook stwstowaal 
dissolving Parliament on Thursday, asking the heads of Poland s 
two houses of Parliament for their opinion on such a move and 
fairing the contested 1995 budget to the constitutional court, the 

PAP news agency reported. . .. V 

Mr. Walesa has blocked adoption of the budget, contending-rt 
violates the constitution. He could use his move as a pretext fqr 
dissolving the tower house because its three-month deadline to 
adopt the budget law expires Saturday. That would automatically 
cause the dissolution of the upper house. . • 

Asking the heads of both houses for their opinion xs the first 
step Mr. Walesa must take to dissolve Parliament under the Pbhfih 
Constitution. But the leftist majority says Mr. Walesa cannot use 
Parliament's failure to adopt the budget to dissolve the legislature 
if he himself is blocking the law. 

Iran Threatens Norway With Boycott- 

NICOSIA (Reuters) — Iran on Thursday threatened Norway 
with an economic boycott unless it changed its "anti-Islamic" 
stand, Tehran radio said. ■ 

Iran would not send a new ambassador to Norway, the radio 
quoted a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying, and ‘would fully 
implement the economic restrictions it introduced several months 
ago,” unless Oslo changed its policy and refrained from “antf- 
l aanric” policies. The statement, which did not spell out the 
restrictions, follows Norway’s decision Tuesday to downgrade its 
diplo matic relations with Iran to protest Tehran’s 1989 death 
sentence a gains t the British writer Salman Rushdie. 

Norway has said Iran recalled its Oslo envoy in October for 
appearing to soften Tehran's position on Mr. Rushdie. Oslo’s 
envoy to Tehran was recalled for consultations on Jan. 16, and 
Norway said on Tuesday he would stay home. ? ^

Republican Race for Election Funds Is On, Earlier and Harder Than Ever 


By Richard L. Bexke 

• Tlnta Savior 

.^WASHINGTON — Shortly 
'before Dick Cheney, the f onnw 
. aercn se secretary, formally 
dropped out of the race for the 
:*®pubhcaa presidential nomi- 
igabon in 1996, he. called Mel 
* SdnblCT, a millionaire develop- 
Petersburg, Florida, 
who would have been amon g 
ip top fund-raisers, to give him 
me news. 

, Soon Mr. Sembler’s tele- 

25®“? v as “?S in S again. 

hours, he said, ^ bad 
-Bails from Lamar Alexander, 
-from Phil Gramm and from Ar- 
; len Specter.” Within three days, 

; Mr. Sembler also received can? 
jfrom advisers to Dan Quayle, 
'Jie former vice president, and 
■to Senator Bob Dole. 

Mr. Sembler threw his sup- 
■ikMt to Mr. Alexander, the for- 
‘hier governor of Tennessee. 
■This week, after Jack F. Kemp, 


the framer bousing secretary, 
dropped out, Mr. Sembler 
made a call of his own. He 
helped persuade Lawrence E. 
Bathgate 2d, a New Jersey busi- 
nessman who was Mr. Kemp's 
head money-raiser, to join the 
Alexander effort. 

The race to raise money is 
being fought earlier and more 
aggressively than ever before 
among the Republicans. 

'With more states, including 
New York and California, mov- 
ing up the primary dates, candi- 
date who catch fire in. early 
contests will no longer have 
time to squeeze in enough fund- 
raising events to capitalize on 
their success. 

Senator Gramm of Texas has 
already transferred S3 million 
from his Senate committee to 
his presidential account. Dole 
aides said he had rally about $2 
million left from past cam- 
paigns. 


Still, Mr. Dole is the best po- 
sitioned as majority leader and 
because he has an established 
network of contributors from 
three earlier runs for national 
office. Even so, Mr. Gramm 
and Mr. Alexander have been 
the most aggressive in lining up 
prominent fund-raisers. 

The best known of the ex- 
pected contenders say their goal 
is to raise at least $20 million by 
Christmas — which comes out 
to roughly $385,000 a week. To 
Qualify for the federal grants 
that match contributions of up 
to $250, candidates wOl be per- 
mitted to spend about S44 mil- 
lion apiece in the primaries, of 
which only about $15 million 
would probably come from the 
government. 

So even though no candi- 
dates have formally declared, 
and even as politicians step up 
their attacks on special inter- 
ests, the race for cash started in 



Haley Barbour, chairman of 
the Republican National Com- 
mittee, said: “In the bible of 
campaign politics it says, ‘In the 
beginning was the word, the 
word was money.' But the idea 
that there is some gargantuan 
amount of money that one must 
raise in order to be a competi- 
tive candidate for president re- 
mains to be proven." 

While Mr. Barbour holds the 
view that a lower-budget candi- 
date could catch the public's 
imagination and capture ' the 
nomination, that has not hap- 
pened in modem history. 

Stan Huckaby, treasurer of 
George Bush's campaigns in 
1988 and 1992, who has com- 
pleted a study of presidential 
fund-raising, Mid the general 
rule was that “the person who 


cep lion was John B. Connally, 
the former governor of Texas, 
who outspent his rivals in his 
failed 1980 effort. 

Alec P. Court elis, a Miami 
builder who headed Mr. Bush's 
fund-raising operation and is fi- 
nance chairman for Mr. 
Gramm, noted that in the com- 
pressed schedule, 70 percent of 
the delegates will be chosen in 
seven weeks. He said he was on 
"a very short fuse.” 

“This is my fifth presidential 
campaign, and 2 have never 
seen it happen without the 
money,” lie said. “If you don’t 
have gas, you can't push the car 
very far." 

Robert A. Mosbacher Sr., 
Mr. Bush's head fund-raiser 
and then his commerce secre- 
tary, said some candidates were 


overemphasizing their fund- 
raising advantages. 

“Some people would like to 
scare everybody else out of the 
race," he said. He said he was 
holding out for James A. Baker 
3d, the former secretary of 
state, who is considering run- 
ning. 

Candidates who amass large 
sums early can also feed the 
perception that they are gaining 
steam, as Michael S. Dukakis, 
then governor of Massachu- 
setts, did in the 1988 Democrat- 
ic primaries. 

Though Mr. Alexander is lit- 
tle known nationally, he has al- 
ready assembled an impressive 
fund-raising team, winch is be- 
ing led byTed Welch, who was 
a fund-raiser for Ronald Rea- 
gan and Mr. Bush. The Alexan- 
der campaign has also recruited 
other senior fund-raisers from 
the Bush or Reagan campaigns. 

Mr. Alexander has scheduled

House Republicans 
Win Effort to Ease 
Burden on States 


By Kenneth J. Cooper 

Washington Post Service 

WASHINGTON — The 
House has given an overwhelm- 
ing bipartisan endorsement of 
legislation intended to discour- 
age Congress from imposing 
regulatory burdens an state and 
looil governments without pro- 
viding money to carry them out 

The legislation on so-called 
unfunded mandates was ap- 
proved 360 to 74 on Wednes- 
day, and then sent to a House- 
Senate conference to resolve 
minor differences with a Senate 
version passed last week. Presi- 
dent Bin Clinton indicated last 
week that he supported the bilL 

Both versions abandoned the 
outright prohibition on unfund- 
ed federal mandates that House 
Republican candidates had 
premised in September in their 
“Contract With Amer ica ” In- 
stead, the legislation would re- 
quire Congress to give cost esti- 
mates of proposed new 
regulations. 

Supporters suggested that by 
calling attention to the costs of 
proposed mandates, the legisla- 
tion would discourage lawmak- 
ers from bringing them up or 
make it easier to defeat such 
proposals on the floor. 

“This w 


*Stop 


was sort of a message, 
us before we mandate 
said Representative 
7flham F. dinger Jr., a Penn- 
sylvania Republican who is 
chairman of the House Govern- 
ment Reform and Oversight 
Committee. “If we arc going to 


impose a mandate, the pre- 
ferred option is to fund it-” 

Under budget constraints 
during the late 1980s, the Can- 
mess, then controlled by the 
Democrats, passed the costs of 
federal regulations and man- 
dates to other government enti- 
ties, consuming more and more 
of their budgets. 

Governors have chafed under 
such mandates, which made 
more of the poor eligible for 
Medicaid, the state-federal 
health program, while local of- 
ficials have complained about 
the costs of enforcing the water 
pollution regulations imposed 
by the Environmental Protec- 
tion Agency. 

Doting debate on the mea- 
sure. Democratic critics assert- 
ed that even though the House 
legislation did not affect exist- 
ing laws, its restrictions would 
eventually undermine congres- 
sional efforts to help vulnerable 
citizens, protect against envi- 
ronmental threats or meet other 
it national needs, 
jresentatiye Cardiss Col- 
lins of the ranking 

Democrat on the Government 
Reform Committee, said that 
the unfunded mandates bill 
“places Congress in a straitjack- 
et” and represents “a mean- 
spirited effort to abandon those 
most in need.” 

Both versions exempt civil 
rights, disaster relief, national 
security and Social Security re- 
tirement benefits from their 
provisions.

cross-e xamination by the de- 
fense, which was trying to dis- 
credit him by portraying Mm as 
a lying celebrity hanger-on hy- 
ing to advance his acting career 
by linking himself to the Sixnp- 
son case. 

Later, when requestioued by 
the prosecution, Mr. Shipp said 
he was, in fact, a dose friend of 
Mr. Simpson’s, one who ar- 
ranged the security for his 
wife’s funeral and one who 
“never asked O.J.” for any- 
thing. 

“To this very day, I don’t 
have an antographedpetore of 
O. J. Simpson,” Mr. Shipp said. 

He said he has refused to take 
money to teD his story about the 
dift flm conversation. 

• “I personally felt that was 
Wood money,” Mr. Shipp said. 

Under questioning from Carl 
Douglas, a defense lawyer, Mr. 

tiruSPwben he said MnSimpson 
told him about dreams of kill- 
ing Nicole Brown Simpson in a 
conversation the day after her 
murder and that of her friend 
Ronald L. Goldman. 

Mr. Douglas suggested, how- 
ever, that Mr. Shipp was lying, 
asserting that Mr. Shipp re- 
counted Mr. Simpson's discuss- 
ing the bloody glove allegedly 
found on the Simpson property 
even though, at. the time, the 
police had not told Mr. Simp- 
son about the glove. 

Mr. SMpp said he did not 
know what the police had told 
Mr. Simpson, bin was confident 
about tin: nature of his conver- 
sation with him. 

“I know what I heard," be 
said. 

Earlier, Mr. Shipp said his 
drinking problem “got out of 
band” in 1983, leading to a 15- 

day suspension. The problem 
ended, he said, when he left the 

in 198^but he uc^ > tiu?*he 
had got drunk on occasions in 
the years since. 

He denied being drunk, or 
even d rinking , the night he 
claims Mr. Simpson talked 
about dreams. 

Mr. Shipp also revealed that 
he was seeing a psychiatrist in 
1989, and that he referred Mr. 
Simpson to the same psychia- 


trist after Mis. Simpson was 
beaten on New Year's Day 
1989. 

Asked why he left the police 
department that year after 15 
years on the force, Mr. Shipp 
cited the stress of the job. 

“To be perfectly honest, my 
wife can verify this and my fam- 
ily, I was binned out, 1 didn't 
know what the Wick I was going 
to do,” Mr. Shipp said. “But I 
left the job because I was 
burned out.” 

He admitted that while he 
was stfil an officer he brought 


officers to Mr. Simpson's bouse 
to show off “all the trophies, 
everything he had there.” 

But he denied that one of 
those officers was Detective 
Mark Fuhrman, who would lat- 
er say he found a bloody glove 
at Mr. Simpson's house. 

In an interview broadcast 
Thursday, another Simpson at- 
torney, Johnnie L. Cochran Jr., 
said that even if Mr. Shipp’s 
claim about the conversation 
were the truth, “which it is not,” 
dreams are not the proper sub- 
ject for a trial. 


“What about all these won- 
derful dreams that I'm sure O J. 
Simpson must have bad in the 
times he loved bis wife?” Mr. 
Cochran asked on NBCs "To- 
day". show. “It doesn’t make 
any sense.” 

The prosecutor, Marcia 
Dark, argued Thursday morn- 
ing: “But, in fact, you know, I 
think Wait Disney said it best 1 
think, what was it in, ‘Sleeping 
Beauty”? A dream is a wish your 
heart makes.” 

The line is actually from the 
movie “Cinderella.” 


Second Day of Talks Brings Progress 
But No Accord in Pera-Ecuador Fight 


Cottpfted by Our Staff From Dispaidia 

RIO DE JANEIRO —Dele- 
gations from Peru and Ecuador 
a ttending peace talks here met 
face-to-face for the first time 
Thursday but failed to reach a 
firm agreement to hah their 
aimed border dispute, a diplo- 
mat said. 

After 15 hours erf meetings, 
Brazil's deputy foreign minis- 
ter, SebastiSo do Rego Banos, 
said “considerable advances" 
had been made in the second 

conflict but that no accord had 
been reached. 

While the talks took place in 
Rio, President Alberto Fuji- 
mori of Peru went on television 
to propose a cease-fire and the 
creation of a demilitarized 
zone. 

On Wednesday, dashes were 
reported in the Ceaepa River 
region, on the eastern edge of 
the Andes, where fi ghting broke 
out last week. Ecuador asserted 
that Peruvian troops attacked 
two of its positions. 

, Since fighting begin Jan. 26 
in the Cordillera del Condor 
region on the Pezu-£cuador 
border, Ecuador says it has 
killed 27 Peruvian soldiers and 
lost four of its own men. Pern 
says that five of its soldiers were 
killed and thai two were 
wounded. 


The dispute is over 340 
square kilometers (130 square 
males) of jungle whose borders 
have yet to be marked as called 
for in the 1942 Protocol of Rio 
de Janeiro, which sought to put 
an end to the two countries’ 
claims to the area. 

In I960, Ecuador rejected the 
protocol, and bender conflicts 
nave frequently occurred 


around the Jan. 29 anniversary 
of the treaty. 

A diplomat involved in the 
Rio talks said Ecuador was in- 
sisting on a clause that would 
open the possibility for a rene- 
gotiation of the terms of the 
protocol before agreeing to a 
cease-fire. 

Mr. Rego Banos refused to 
discuss details of the negotia- 
tions. (Ream AP)

AlPs Fair in Love, War anti Congress 

WASHINGTON — Programs have friends, but bureau- 
crats do not, so focus your fire on the bureaucrats. Hold on lo 
the moral high ground. 

When Democrats attack Republican budget cuts as unfair, 
says Frank Luntz, a Republican pollster, “We must match 
our opponents stoiy for stray — the personal and national 
immorality or passing along increasing debt to our children 
and future generations, versus their budget-cutting horror 
stories.” 

Mr. Luntz's advice was contained in a strategy memoran- 
dum circulated among Republicans on Capitol Hill. 

The memorandum gives a glimpse of the coming struggle 
over the budget, and tries to analyze how Republicans can 
counter the expected Democratic critique and win the war for 
public opinion. 

“In one sense, this memorandum is about taking back our 
language and turning the issue of ‘fairness’ against the Demo- 
crats,” it says. “For example, why don’t we begin to ask: Is it 
fair for Medicare recipients to have even greater choice or 
doctors and facilities than the average taxpayers who are 
funding the system? Is it fair to give student loans for truck 
driving schools? Is it fair to penalize middle-class families for 
saving for the future? Is it fair to leave battered children in 
abusive homes?” 

A repeated theme of the memorandum is that Republicans 
must present their budget-balancing in a moral context. “The 
moral force for balancing the budget must be stronger than 
the pseudo moralists who will decry specific budget cuts,” it 
says. “Our enemies are already gathering their stones. The 
New York Times has taken the lead, running two full pages 
of pictures of homeless people sifting through dumpsters for 
food. NBCs Tim Russert is a dose second, decrying the 
humanity of the Republican cuts even before knowing what 
they are.” (Robin Toner, NYT) 

Lawmakers Give Htfnvttntton ■ Pass 

WASHINGTON — What if you held a seminar for Con- 
gress and hardly anybody showed up? The National Associa- 
tion of Manufacturers found out during a three-hour mara- 
thon at which business experts were supposed to tell members 
of the Senate and House how to remake government in the 
corporate image. 

“More than 100 members of Congress and their staff 
learned how to change government and make Washington 
work,” enthused a manufacturers’ news release before the 
seminar, “by applying management and efficiency principles 
that the private sector has embraced with extraordinary 
results.” 

In fact, only four members of Congress showed up. The 
Senate majority whip, Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi, 
dropped in for 10 minutes, smiled and left, missing the entire 
presentation after congratulating the manufacturers on what 
ne hoped would "maybe” be “an historical meeting.” 

Maybe not. The manufacturers, whose members filled the 
audience, had nothing at all to say about remaking govern- 
ment. What they talked about was the great job American 
business had done to become globally competitive and what 
it needed to do to stay on top. The main speaker was Tom 
Peters, author of the best-selling “In Search of Excellence,” 
who held forth on such second-stage themes as “beyond 
decentralization." “beyond empowerment” and “beyond 
change.” 

At one point, Dana G. Mead, chief executive officer of 
Tenncco Inc., “departed from the conventional wisdom” to 
say that “one of the primary functions ofleadership is to set 
goals from the top." He urged corporate types to “face 
reality." By that time he was pretty much facing an empty 
room. (Guy Gugliotta, IV P) 

Chiote/Unquote 

Mayor Marion S. Barry of the District of Columbia as he 
reported that the capital was facing a staggering $722 million 
projected budget shortfall: “This city is in shock. No one 
wants to see this kind of news. This is the most serious 
financial crisis since 1 873.” ( WP)

A Condition-Free Treaty 


Bin Ointoo has taken a major step to 
rescue an endangered treaty that is the 
prinenwl instrument for preven ting the 
spread of nuclear weapons. He dropped 
the demand that the United States alone 
was making for an “easy out" option in 
10 years from a comprehensive nuclear 
test ban. By this concession, the president 
measurably strengthens his hand in ask- 
ing others to permanently extend the Nu- 
clear Nonproliferation Treaiy. 

And not a minute too soon. The treaty is 
up for precarious review. It is not that it is 
terminally flawed — it isn’t, although 25 
years of experience has shown its hrnHa- 
nons in pursuing determined violators. 
Renewal is faltering under the special- 
interest burdens that various countries in- 
cluding the United States are pitting on iL 

For instance, nonnuclear Egypt wants 
Israel to openly acknowledge its veiled 
n uclear status. Iran, a signer but also a 
nuclear sneak, insists that there should be 
no controls on exports of nuclear material 
and technology to treaty signers. Others 
believe that the five declared nuclear pow- 
ers must pledge not to use nuclear weap- 
ons first against those without than — a 
pledge that the United States, with its 
global responsibilities, still h e sitates to 
mafrp- Many also believe that the five, 
especially the Americans, have not suffi- 
ciently met their treaty obligation to dis- 


arm — notwithstanding the deep cuts 
that Washington and Moscow are mak- 
ing in their strategic arsenals. 

In another politically sensitive policy 
area, a group of countries demand that the 
five halt all nuclear tests. But until now the 
United States, although it observes a test- 
ing moratorium, has sought to preserve a 
right to conduct small-scale stockpile- 
checking tests and also to retain an “easy 
out" option in a test ban treaty. Here is 
where the administration signals welcome 
change; It wzB extend the moratorium un- 
til a global test ban treaty takes effect, and 
it will no longer ask for the “easy out" 

These adjustments enable America to 
rlaiwfi that it is ahanAinjpg SOUK of its 
nuclear privilege, the better to persuade 
nuclear have-nots to stop bargaining over 
the terms of their consent to extension. 

The nonproliferation treaty is not a rel- 
ic, not a token, not one-sided. It embodies 
collective recognition of the common nu- 
clear peril It provides the practical stan- 
dards aztd procedures that make 19 the 



s asserter than permanent 
extension of a dean condition-free treaty. 
For the United States to act on this fact is 
to make it the wodd leader it should be on 
this paramount security issue. 

— THE WASHINGTON POST. 


Foreign Aid, Carefully 


Foreign aid, never very popular with 
Americans, is on the chopping block. It is 
not easy to argue the merits of spending to 
diminish poverty, hunger and disease 
abroad when budget cuts mean inade- 
quate funding for those problems at home. 
But some substantial benefits for the Unit- 
ed Stales can be secured by relatively inex- 
pensive foreign aid programs that are care- 
fully selected and managed. Aid that 
directly attacks the causes of global inse- 
curity like poverty, disease, overpopula- 
tion and environmental degradation can 
prevent the sort of political instability and 
humaniiariim rifaa«ugrs that ultimately re- 
quire more costly U.S. involvement. If the 
budget-cutters are not careful they may 
shortchange aid to those who need it most 
and where it may do the most good. 

Of the $123 billion in the aid budget, 
more than half goes to programs mat 
reduce risks to U-S. security — $3 trillion 
to Israel and $2.1 billion to Egypt to 
promote peace in the Middle East, and 
$13 billion to the former Soviet bloc to 
encourage transitions to democracy and 
markets. Republican leaders have pledged 
to sustain these efforts. If that position 
prevails, most of the cuts will come from 
aid to the poorest of the poor, especially in 
Africa, which has helped turn around 


countries like Zimbabwe and Botswana. 
That aid is being redirected to small pro- 
jects, often disbursed by development 
banks or nongovernmental or gan izations, 
to better the lives of milli ons — Kkc immu- 
nizing childr en in Kenya and Honduras 
and introducing farm techniques that may 
yet allow Bangladesh to feed itself. Care- 
fully targeted, aid can help promote peace- 
ful transitions in South Africa and Zaire. 

Critics stress the low growth rates at- 
tained by aid recipients and the failure of 
aid to promote democratic, market-orient- 
ed development. That is hardly a surprise 
since in (he past most aid went to prop up 
Ccdd War cheats like Turkey, Greece, Pa- 
kistan and Indonesia, some of which were 
governed by unsavory regimes. The devel- 
opment objectives of that aid were overrid- 
den by security considerations — often 
with the support of today’s critics. 

It is too soon to judge the results of 
more recent strategies to broaden partici- 
pation in development projects that spur 
economic growth or educate women to 
reduce birthrates. That suggests the need 
for modesty, both in the made for 
foreign aid and in the amounts allocated 
to it It does not mean slashing the aid 
effort indiscriminately.

Budgeting Health Care 


The Clinton administration said last 
year that the deficit could be reduced in 
the long run only by controlling health 
costs. Now congressional Republicans 
have begun to issue similar warnings. The 
implicatioa is that Medicare and Medic- 
aid, together a sixth of the budget, are both 
veiy much on the cutting board. That was 
the importance of the speeches that House 
Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senate Mar 
jority Leader Bob Dole gave to the Ameri- 
can Hospital Association this week. 

The Republicans propose not just to 
reduce the deficit but to balance the bud- 
get while cutting taxes, protecting defense 


Security together are just over half the 
budget Medicare and Medicaid are more 
than a third of the rest and rising. There is 
no way to balance the budget and do all 
the rest of what the Republicans want 
without cutting them. The only question is 
how and, in particular, bow without shift- 
ing some large part of currently federal 
costs to such other heavily burdened pay- 
ers as the states and the privately insured. 
The Republicans, as they themselves sug- 
gest, have not figured that out yet. In 
fairness, no erne else has either. 

The speaker said that “we have to re- 
think our health system” because current 
cost trends can only result in a “financial 
crash,” He endorsed “the goal of Medi- 
care,'’ but warned that the Republicans 
should be expected to “make every deri- 
sion within the context of getting to a 
balanced budget” He added, “Everything 
is on the (able except Social Security." 

That translates into somehow providing 
current levels of care, or dose to them, at 
sharply less than currently projected cost 
Mr. Gingrich said cost controls would not 
work and spoke vaguely instead of achiev- 
ing “cost collapses” — medical break- 
throughs that would cut costs as had devel- 
opment of the Salk vaccine. He suggested 
that deregulation might also help, urging 
the members to “think about a world with- 


out the Health Care Financing Adminis- 
tration," without indicating what might 
replace it The Republicans are also “look- 
ing at ... a very dramatic and bold block 
grant process" with regard to Medicaid, he 
said, but again be offered no details. 

Mr. Dole likewise suggested that cur- 
rent health care cost trends are not sustain- 
able, but he quickly added that he was not 
“talking about arbitrary cuts to Medicare 
— there is no magical number.” “We’re 
going to need your help," he told the 
group. “If you had to bst four or five 
priorities on bow you would reduce Medi- 
care that wouldn’t impact adversely on 
anybody, or very few, I bet you’d give us a 
lot of good answers, and I hope you will” 

The Republicans are doubtless right 
that Medicare and Medicaid can be enor- 
mously improved, tightened up in any 
number of ways and made to deliver care 
more efficiently. Whether they can also 
somehow be contained within a balanced 
budget in a way that would not “impact 
adversely on anybody, or very few, is 
not as clear. There is not going to be a 
comprehensive health care bill before this 
Congress. But there is going to be a major 
health care debate.

A Threat to South America 

The war between Peru and Ecuador is 
a conflict that must be resolved as soon as 
possible — not just for the sake of human 
life but for the future of the continent. 
The conflict threatens to undermine the 
region’s steps toward integration and its 
strengthening of democracy. 

All Latin American governments must 
begin negotiations at once with the coun- 
tries in question to seek a solution to 
a conflict that ultimately goes beyond 
the issue of bonders.

Prepare for Better Relief and Peacekeeping, Not Less 


N EW YORK — Into the ditch have 
gone the ambitious hopes for pre- 
ventive diplomacy and conflict resolu- 
tion that flourished at the end of the 
Cold War. A silent triage is bring prac- 
ticed by an international community 
overwhelmed by the eruption of nasty 
little wars across the globe. 

Russia still receives intensive care as it 
wages its Chechen campaign. Bosnia has 
beat reduced to low-level life support, 
getting some food and bandages but no 
strong medicine. At death’s end of the 
tent lies the continent of Africa. 

The withdrawal of United Nations 
peacekeepers from Somalia this month 
marks it as a casualty beyond saving. 
Warring Somali dans will be left to fight 
it ouL The most vicious, or perhaps just 

emerge to claim a UN seat* But their 
bloodstained excellencies will be wel- 
comed in the world’s foreign ministries. 

The case of Rwanda is even more chiH- 
ing. The next eruption of tribal warfare 
and genocide is being prepared openly in 
the Hutu-inhabited refugee camps that 
the United Nations and humanitarian 
organizations oversee on Rwanda’s bor- 
ders. Yd no country responded when UN 
Secretary-General Butros Butros Gfaali 
tried to form a small force to bead off the 
next, predictable round of bloodletting. 


By Jim Hoagland 


At least in Somalia there was an effort- 
in Rwanda, as Mr. Butros Ghali has said 
on several occasions, “We have failed 
... and thus have acquiesced in the 
continued loss of human lives." Somalia 
represented a mismanaged good inten- 
tion. Rwanda represents a cold calcula- 
tion to take no chances. 

This is a far cry from the hopes that 
preventive diplomacy would be a growth 
industry for the 1990s. The dintonites 
promised to spare Americans new for- 
eign involvement by detecting crises ear- 
ly an and beading them off. At the Unit- 
ed Nations, plans proliferated for a rapid 
reaction force that could intervene to 
prevent the next Bosnia or Rwanda from 
turning agarn into a giant killing ground. 

Those hopes sank in the sands raSoma- 
lia and the snows of Sarajevo. Conflicts 
that superpo w er Woe rivalry would have 
stifled m the past are not deterred or 
affected by unwieldy international coali- 
tions lacking common political a|m< r>d 
by America, the governments of the major 
powers have turned inward, ran out of 
ideas and resources for international ac- 
tion. They have become, in a word, callous 
toward the most savage of these conflicts. 

The time has come for a serious re- 


thinking of international relief and hu- 
manitarian programs in a world with the 
closed horizons oi a Jean-Paul Sartre 
drama: a world where there are no exits, 
qnri the cavalry will never come. 

Relief groups increasingly care for 
populations that cannot be protected. 
These populations become the “the wol- 
fed dead.*' Smart nongovernmental orga- 
nizations are beginning to ask if their 
efforts in fact hop prolong the conflicts 
they try to resolve. 

This is clearly the case now m the 
Rwanda crisis, where, in the words of 
diplomats Gary Soroka and 
Christopher Cooler, “the humanitarian 
rationale for the refugee camps is gone.” 

Their carefully worded but clear mes- 
sage is that the Hutu-controlled camps in 
Zaire should be dosed, by turning off 
the flow of food and services if neces- 
sary, before the Hutu use the camps as 
launching pads to attack the Tutsi-dom- 
inated government The Hutu refugees 
would then be forced to abandon the 
camps run by warlords, return to Rwan- 
da and cooperate with the new govern- 
ment to get relief supplies. 

Mr. Soroka acknowledges that this 
proposal advanced in a Policy Staff 
Commentary published by the Canadian 
Foreign Ministry for public distribution 
and discussion, puts the United Nations 


commission for refugees and other 


“in a box.” Thor mandate is to 
refugees, and “this would represent a 


major philosophical departure for them.” 

Another darion call for new t hinkin g 
cmnes from the International Crisis - 
Group, formed in London two weeks ago ■ 
with the financial support of fina n cier ' 
George Soros and the intellectual stinxu- . 
lus of Morton Abramowitz, head of 
Washington's Carnegie EndowmenL The ■ 
group expects to spend $10 milhon a year 
to stimulate a new coordinated approach 
to humanitarian relief that will recognize 
rsrrrent political realities. 

“Humanitarian assistance, however 
important in saving lives, unfortunately 
iron serve as a palliative and a substitute 
for governments taking more decisive, 
politically difficult measures to solve 
the crisis itself,” the crisis group’s orga-

State of Israel, State of Palestine, Each Side Secure and Responsible; 


J ERUSALEM — Even if it 
turns out, as some say, that the 
murderous vermin who carried out 
the recent terrorist attacks in Israel 
are controlled from Damascus, we 
Israelis most not cease negotia- 
tions. On the contrary, negotia- 
tions must be accelerated. 

But in this case, and concur- 
rently, we must hurt those who 
are hurting us. President Hafez 
Assad has two options: not to 
shoot during negotiations, or to 
shoot and carry on negotiations 
at die same tim e History h ns 
plenty of precedents. But if he 
chooses the second option, let it 
be dear that Syria wilf not remain 
the only one doing the shooting. 
This applies to Palestine as 

well. We Israelis are talking to the 
Palestinians about a just, compre- 
hensive and secure peace: So, 
talking and not shooting, or talk- 
ing and shooting. If Palestine 
continues to hurt Israel Israel 
will hurt Palestine, while not halt- 
ing the peace negotiations. 

This, however, is much more 
complicated than in the case of 
Syria, because Syria is an existing 
entity and Palestine isn’t. It 


By Amos Oz 


would have been much easier for 
ns had there been a Palestine. 

It is impossible to launch a mil- 
itary attack against Pales tinian 
military or strategic targets, be- 
cause Palestine does not yet exist 
and there are no military or stra- 
tegic targets, and we are still an 
occupying force in Hebron and 
Tulkarm. We are condemned to 
deal with Hebron and Tulkar m 
with police measures rather than 
use military force against a gov- 
ernment of Palestine that does 
not want to, or is unable to, im- 
plement the peace agreement. 

It is both necessary and worth- 
while that a Palestinian state exist 
alongside Israel as soon as possi- 
ble. Above all it is just and moral- 
ly valid for each nation to demand 
the right to live in peace on its own 
land. And if there were a Palestine 
alongside Israel there would be a 
good chance that this ab ominable 
Fanaticism would disappear, or at 
least be reduced. 

There is also a good chance that, 
for reasons erf fear or danger, or 
other considerations, a Palestinian 


government would make a point 
of suppressing these murderous 
gang « if a Palestinian government 
did nothing to quash the murder- 
ous attacks on Israel Israel would 
be able to respond by attacking 
legitimate Palestinian targets, in- 
stead of having to go on with this 
endless game of cops and robbers. 

The conflict between us and the 
Syrians is a “black and white" con- 
flict: Syria is the aggressor, Israel 
the victim of aggression. We de- 
feated Syria several times and cap- 
tured some of its land, and we 
dull go on holding this land for at 
least as long as it takes to achieve 
secure Deaoe between os. Thus it 


was with Egypt and with Jordan. 

Tbe conflict between us and the 
Palestinians is not a “black and 
white” affair. It was mainly be- 
cause of the cruelty and extremism 
of their leaders that the P alestinian 
people lost all they ever had: their 
towns, villages, houses, fields, 
identity and seZf-rcspect, and es- 
pecially their hope for the future, 
ft is not easy to quarrel with 
someone who has lost everything 


he ever had, both because he is so 
desperate and angry and because 
there is almost nothing left with 
which to threaten him. 

When a 3-year-old has a pain in 
his knee, he might smash it with 
his fist to make it stop hurting. 
But the problem between as and 
the Palestinians is a tragic one — 
a deep wound, a catastrophe. You 
cannot continue lashing out at a 
problem until it stops being a 
problem. It must be cured. 

Tbe cure will be bitter and 
painful and require surgery, both 
because the wound is a compli- 
cated one and because we, out of 
fear and blindness, have been 
putting off ail attempts at curing 
it for so many years that the 
wound has become infected. It is 
full of pus and there is severe 
hemorrh aging Tbe healing pro- 
cess will see progress and relapse, 
good days and terrible days. 

But we must not forget for a 
moment that at long last, after so 
many years of anguish, hatred 
and death, we have began — and 
this is only the beginning — the 
process of healing the wound. We 
must grit our teeth and get on 


with the cure. There is no choice. 

Tbe land of Israel is the only 
homeland for tbe Jews. Palestine is 
the Palestinians' only homeland. 

We are grang to have to share it -7- 

ouxs runs from tins point to that 
' it, and theirs runs from hoeto^ 


If necessary, an electric 

fence will have to be put up, and 
mine fields laid, to separate us 
from them until such a time as wfe 
all undergo a change of heart 

A neighboring Palestinian state 
is in Israel's national interest. It is 
also a moral obligation, if we are 
to begin drying up the swamp of 
despair and fanaticism from 
which extremists on both sides 
keep rearing their ugly heads. 

Only then will there be hi 
far the future, for them and 
us, because our hope for the fu- 
ture depends on theirs. And only 
then will they, too, have some- 
thing to lose — so that they, toe, 
wOl have to think twice.

While the New KGB Wins in Chechnya, Russia at Large Could Lose 


M cLEAN, Virginia — Russia's 
assault on Chechnya, how- 
ever ill-conceived militarily, is a 
political victory for Boris Yeltsin’s 
counterintelligence service — a 
victory with broad implications. 
Tbe invasion intensifies a trend 
toward authoritarianism that be- 
gan with Mr. Yeltsin’s attack on 
opponents in the Russian White 
House in October 1993. 

With the Chechens all but de- 
feated and a puppet government 
sure to be installed, the whole 
crisis could blow over, leaving 
Mr. Yeltsin with a badly bruised 
image bat still firmly in office. 

Although the military is con- 
ducting toe assault in Chechnya, 
toe Federal Counterintelligence 
Sendee, successor to the KGB’s 
Second Directorate, has been mas- 
terminding the operation. Mos- 
cow’s stated goal is “to restore

constitutional order” — the job of 
the counterintelligence service. 

“Defending toe constitution" 
has long been a euphemism for 
police suppression of political 
dissent. This was toe justification 
for toe use of force in October 
1993 against Mr. Yeltsin’s parlia- 
mentary foes — the most promi- 
nent of whom was a Chechen, 
Ruslan Khasbulatov. 

Tbe invasion of Chechnya has 
not been popular with tbe military. 
But the counterintelligence chief, 
Sergei Stepashin, and his col- 
leagues have shown no lark of zeal 
They would have preferred to sub- 
due the Chechens by nonnrilitary 
means. But after various covert 
efforts to bringdown toe Dudayev 
government failed, they pushed 
for toe deployment of troops. 


During a visit m mid- January to 
Lubyanka, Moscow headquarters 
of the counterintelligence service, 1 
spake with an official who ac- 
knowledged that it was probably 
on the basts of information his 
agency provided that Mr. Yeltsin’s 
Security Council decided to in- 
vade. Russia, he said, was dealing 
with a vast “criminal mafia.” 

The war has grave implica- 
tions. What is to prevent the Yelt- 
sin administration from using 
similar justifications for persecut- 
ing other stubborn ethnic groups 
or even individual dissenters? De- 
fending toe constitution, after an, 
can require an iron fist. 

Mr. Stepashin has emerged as a 
top Yeltsin adviser. He was a new- 
comer with little apparent influ- 
ence when lie came from tbe Into- 


Affirmative Action Has Had Its Day 


W ASHINGTON — Many 
years ago, a woman was 
chosen over me for a promo- 
tion. When I asked a supervisor 
for an explanation — was she. 
in fact better than me? — he 
said merit had nothing to do 
with iL I remember his words 
well: We needed a woman. 

Tbe explanation rankles to 
this day. Die woman in ques- 
tion came from a very old and 
still affluent American family, 
while I was toe first male in my 
family to graduate Grom college. 
How, I wondered, did she be- 
come a victim and me a member 
of a privileged class? 

I try to balance that experi- 
ence with what 1 know are the 
needs of true victims, and over 
toe years 2 have been supportive 
of affirmative action — al- 
though with many reservations. 
I have always believed that cer- 
tain minorities, blacks in partic- 
ular, nettled a break. The evi- 
dence for that is so obvious it 
hardly needs to be detailed. 

Further, I know that without 
affirmative action — without 
the government breathing down 
the necks of employers, colleges 
and other institutions — little 
would have been accomplished. 
It was not enough merely to 
drop racist barriers. Something 
more needed to be done. 

“You do not take a person 
who for years has been hobbled 
by chains, liberate him, bring 
him to toe starting line of a race 
and then say, ‘You are free to 
compete with aD others,’ and still 
justly believe you have been 
completely fair," Lyndon John- 
son once said. Affirmative action 
was the appropriate remedy. 

But no longer. 


By Richard Cohen 

An entire generation has come 
of age that has never seen a 
“whites only" sign or, for that 
matter, reacted in shock at the 
sight of a woman doing what 
used to be called a man’s work. 

Racial and sexual discrimina- 
tion have not vanished, but they 
have substantially abated and 
no longer require remedies that, 
however weH-ratentioned, neces- 
sitate a compromise of principle. 
Affirmative action, by definition, 
obscures, if not obliterates, indi- 
viduality. It now probably does 
more hum than good. 

In 1996, California probably 
will vote on a proposition that 
would bar affirmative action in 
public hiring, college admis- 
sions and contracts. The issue 
will thus be injected into tbe 
presidential race. The White 
House, to put it mildly, is 
watching California closely. It 
fears a polarizing brawl on the 
very issue that has done so 
much to create toe modern Re- 
publican Party: race. Given 
what surveys tell us about toe 
sentiment of whites, toe propo- 
sition is almost sure to win. 

Before matters reach that 
point, leading civil rights figures 
should recognize why affirma- 
tive action vexes so many whites 
— and a few blacks, too: One 
form of discrimination has been 
replaced by another. Supporters 
of affirmative action should con- 
cede that it is sometimes, maybe 
often, misapplied. In theory, tbe 
choice is always between two 
persons of equal merit In prac- 
tice, that is often not the case. 

Proponents of affirmative ac- 


tion employ language that in its 
own way is as dated as Middle 
English. Jesse Jackson equates 
toe California governor, Pete 
Wilson, who favors ending legal 
preferences for women and mi- 
norities. with segregationists of 
old. Other proponents, some of 
them leaders of women’s groups, 
make similar statements. 

You would think that toe 
choice was between affirmative 
action and a return to Jim Crow 
or, for women, tbe hiring or ad- 
missions practices of old. It is 
not. Few would countenance 
such an outcome. Throughout 
the country, toe virtues of diver- 
sity are not only acknowledged, 
they are celebrated- 

ultima tely, affirmative action 
is doomed. Voters loathe it and 
the courts are giving it another 
look. It would be foolish for the 
Democratic Party to lash itself to 
a program that wiD sink for one 
reason or another and has always 
troubled even some of its propo- 
nents. Racial progress will not be 
advanced if Democrats stick to 
an agenda that mest Americans 
reject — and not out of bigotry. 

After 30 years or affirmative 
action, it is lime to limit its 
application — maybe only to 
instances of recent discrimina- 
tion. I say that with reluctance, 
and with full appreciation that 
racism endures and racists will 
cheer, but with toe overwhelm- 
ing conviction that toe program 
has outlived its usefulness. 

Whatever good it has done, it 
violates the American creed that 
we must be judged as individ- 
uals, not on toe oasis of race or 
sex. The rivil rights era is over. 
Tbe civil liberties era must begin.

nor Ministry to join the security 
services in 1991. But after un- 
swerving support fra Mr. Yeltsin 
during the presideaf s political 
struggles, he was rewarded with 
appointment as head of the conn- 
term tdiigence service in early 
1994. Mr. Yeltsin then gave toe 
service broader authority. 

There is talk in Moscow of 
competition between Mr. Stepa- 
shin and Alexander Korzhakov, 
chief of the president’s personal 
security service. He worked in toe 
KGB's Ninth Directorate and has 
become Mr. Yeltsin’s most inti- 
mate confidanL 

As in earlier instances of Rus- 
sian aggression, such as the inva- 
sion of Afghanistan, public out- 
rage over Chechnya has caused 
the administration to retrench 
and exhibit signs of xenophobia. 
A disturbing indication of this 
was a Jan. 10 report by toe coun- 
terintelligence service that was 
leaked to The Independent Ga- 
zette. a Moscow daily. 

The report said that while 
American scholars and students 
visiting Russia pretend to con- 
duct research, they are actually 
being paid by toe CIA to collect 
information that subverts the po- 
litical process. It claimed that 
American visitors were stealing 
commercial seems and luring 
highly trained professionals to 
the United States. Worse, the re- 
prat went on, much of the infor- 
mation Americans get comes 
from toe Russian press. 

The report recommended re- 
stricting toe flow of information 
to Westerners through tbe media 
• — that is, restricting freedom of 
the press — and limiting the abili- 
ty of Westerners to contact those 
with knowledge of commercial

1095: Anarchist Threat 

PARIS — Appearances seem to 
indicate that tbe wretched anar- 
chists are again trying to bring 
themselves to notice. The explo- 
sion of tbe rue Monoeau in Paris is 
there to prove that tbe partisans of 
that form of propaganda are as 
much to be feared as ever, and are 
only waiting for toe vigilance of 
the police force to relax ? little to 
again begin sowing ruin and death. 

1920: r How to Gargle’ 

PARIS — A new use for toe cine- 
ma has been found by the Patoe 
Company, which has just sent a 
number of films from Paris to 
London by aeroplane, as a fea- 
ture of the anti-influenza cam- 
paign which is to be waged 
throughout toe United Kingdom. 
Tbe films deal with precautionary 
measures against the influenza 
microbes, and great hopes are be- 


ing placed in toe efficacy of one 
educat i onal reel entitled “How to 
Gargle." British medical authori- 
ties are advocating toe use of po- 
tassium permanganate gargles as a 
sure means of killing toe 'flu germ, 
and toe Pato£ films will not only 
show the proportions of wafer and

PUNXSUTAWNEY. Pennsylva-

ered here at seven o’clock this 
morning [Feb. 2] on Bobblefs 
Knob on Canoe Ridge. As soon 
as tbe woodchuck heard their

and state secrets — restricting^ 
freedom of movement 

This is tough talk, not heard 
since toe days of -toe Cold Warf.' 

In Moscow, as in Washington, 
rumors abound that Mr. Yeltsin 
has lost centred and is being ma- 
nipulated by others — be is dying 
of an undisdoGed disease, he is,a 
hopeless alcoholic, he is being 
dragged by Mr. Korzhakov. Fdr 
those who have a stake in believing 
that he is at heart a democrat and 
not responsible for current poli- 
ties, such theories have appeal 

They also suit his purposes. If he 
has any hope of retaining tbe faith 
of Western leaders, he has to dis- 
tance himself from the aggression 
against Chechnya. Hence the an- 
nouncement that he had radcred'a 
halt to the bombing of Grozny, 
only to have toe order ignored. 

But ultimately Mr. Yeltsin is 
responsible. He has chosen to ig- 
nore toe admonitions of his hu- 
man rights adviser, Sergei Kova- 
lev. And his recent statements on 
Chechnya, together with his dis- 
missal of key generals who op- 
posed his policy, give little indica- 
tion that he has regrets. 

The war serves toe Yeltsin ad- 
ministration by giving a message 
to other non-Russian ethnic # 
groups, including those of the 
newly independent stales, that 
Moscow will not hestate to uic 
violence in the face of recalci- 
trance. It also provides an excuse 
for drawing toe curtain a bit ob 
what Mr. Yeltsin and his advisers 
from toe former KGB apparently 
see as excessive freedoms.

- China hits reaped dividends from 
.siding with the Burmese junta — 
and selling it large amounts of artil- 
lery, helicopters and other arms. 

Chinese pressure has induced oth- 
er minorities along the common bor- 
der to find accommodation with 
Rangoon. Trade opportunities with 
China (timber, gems and drugs in - 
exchange for consumer goods) have 

made these a rrangemen ts profitable. 


China for enabling it to get a better 
grip on its minorities. And China has 
extended ils political influence to the 
Andaman Sea (to the discomfort of 
India). The Chinese commercial pres- 
ence is increasingly conspicuous in 
north-central Burma. 

The Thais, meanwhile, are again 
on good terms with Rangoon. Thai- 
land’s policy of making it difficult 
and costly for the Karens to get 
weapons and supplies was one rea- 
son for the fall of Manerplaw. 

In the past, Thailand saw reason 
to keep alive rebellions against its 
ancient foe, Burma. No longer. 
While Karen refugees have been al- 
lowed sanctuary across the border, 
fighters have been disarmed. 

In part, this is because Thailand's 
Burma policy is no longer run by the 
miHtaiy; Prime Minister Chuan 
Leekpax is now in char ge 

Thailand also now has a wider 
agenda: to develop commercial links 
with Burma and to be in a position to 
profit from the economic recovery 
that surely will come. (Forty years 
ago Burma was richer than Thailand, 
a nation of similar size. Now its gross 
national product is less than one- 
third that of its neighbor.) 

Some in Southeast Asia hope that 
engagement with the Burmese junta 
wm lead to economic and political 
renewal And in theory, the junta 
welcomes foreign trade and invest- 
ment But it has done almost noth- 
ing to emulate China (or Vietnam) 
with basic economic reforms. 

Government controls stifle ail 
sectors. The market exchange rate 
for foreign currency remains a frac- 
tion of the official one. And foreign 
investment has been mainly con- 
fined to hotels and oil exploration. 

Policies in Burma are made not by 
technocrats with a coherent devel- 
opment program, but by military 
men with a view to maintaining the 
status quo. There is scant sign 
of the economic progress (hat might 
at least partially compensate for 
suppression of the popular voice. 

Political change is glacial. 
Thejunta now faces few real threats. 
But it is unwilling to contemplate 
moves toward reconciliation that 
eventually might forge a sense of 
real national purpose. 

It is possible that as the junta 
begins feeling more secure, it may 
be prepared to contemplate 
change. But it is probably more 
likely that, post-Manerplaw, it will 
fed even less reason to go beyond 
tinkering with a system that has 
been in place for 33 years.

The Tiger and the Rape of Manila 


M elbourne — Late in the 

afternoon of Feb. 3, 1945, the 
UB. 1st Cavalry Division was clos- 
ing in on Manila. Hopes were high 
that the city would fall to General 
Douglas MacArthur’s forces with- 
out bloodshed or damage. 

In the evening, an American tank 
crashed through the gates of Santo 
Tomas University. The university, 
established by the Spanish in the 
early 1600s on the north bank of the 

1945 PACIFIC 1995 ~~ 

Pasig River, had been turned into a 
concentration camp. 

The internees were jubilant at 
their release. As U.S. forces pressed 
cm toward the center of the city it 
seemed that the recapture might be 
painless. Yd a month later, the Phil- 
ippine capital was in ruins. 

General Tomoyuld Yamashita, 
the “Tiger of Malaya.” had arrived 
in the PhQippmes to take command 
of the Japanese defense just before 
General MacArthur landed at Leyte 
in October 1944. With the U.S. 
forces coming, he withdrew from 
Manila with his 14th Army to the 
mountains east of the city. Tlie aim

Nijinsky’s Last Dance 

Regarding “ Nijinsky's Writings: 
Dancer's Obsessions on Display ” 

( Features, Jan. 25) by Alan Riding: 

Nijinsky danced here at the Palace 
Hotel in the Embassy Ballroom (a 


charity performance) in March 1919; 
this was his last dance in public. 

He had been staying at the Villa 
Guardamunt (there is still a plaque 
on the door). But it was at the Palace 
Hotel, not the Hotel Suvretta, that be 
danced. Romola Nijinsky, his widow, 
spent an evening here with me in 
1977; we discussed the whole story.

An Aversion to Adverse 

According to an item in People on 
Jan. 17, the poet Richard Wilbur 
said John Hensey was “sincerely ad- 
verse” to publicity. I would be most 
dismayed if a major American poet 
really had said he was adverse, rath- 
er than averse, to publicity.

Regarding “Thousands Uprooted 
by Europe's Floods" (Jan. 31): 

We have been studying water and 
floods in our third grade class and 
we know that Frankfort is on the 
Main River and Trier is on the Mo- 
selle, not on the Rhine, as you said 
on your front page.

was to threaten the U.S. forces ad- 
vancing from Lingayen Gulf. 

General Yamashita, the most able 
of Japanese army commanders, had 
demonstrated his offensive skills 
in a lightning drive through Malaya 
in late 1941 and early 1942 to cap- 
ture Singapore. 

In retrospect, it is hard to fault his 
defensive strategy in the Philippines. 
When he withdrew from Manila, 
Japanese navy forces, which did not 
came under his command, remained 
in charge. They were supposed to 
puQ out when the city came under 
attack and to join his 14th Army 
in the mo untains . 

As General Yamashita was aware, 
the defense of Manila would have 
been pointless and futile. After the 
destruction of the Japanese fleet in 
the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October, 
and with his air forces decimated and 
cut off from reinforcements, be must 
have known his task was hopeless. He 
nevertheless fought an effective de- 
laying action, impeding the U.S. ad- 
vance from IJngayen. 

However, relations between the 
Japanese army and navy were 
strained at the best of times during 
the war. Despite his instructions to 
withdraw and jean General Yamashi- 
ta's forces, the naval commander in 
Manila decided to fight to his last 
man and, if need be, the last Filipino. 

The night the Americans entered 
the city, Japanese navy troops re- 
treated across the Pasig River and 
blew up all the bridges. The 30-day 
battle for M anila had begun. 

The devastation that followed was 
not on die scale of the Rape of Nan- 
king in China. But at least 50,000 
Filipinos died, many in acts of delib- 
erate atrocity by the Japanese Ma- 
nila, with its stately buD dings and 
Corinthian columns, had been one of 
Asia’s most gracious cities. It was 
now largely rubble, hs inhabitants 
shocked, hungry and homeless. 

Of the 20 mtiBon people living in 
the Philippines at the start of the war, 
an estimated 1 million were killed 
during the Japanese occupation. The 
outside world knew little of this. Bat 
what happened in Manila in Febru- 
ary 1945 had an impact on American 
and Allied thinking that rivaled the 
effect of the hideous Bataan death 
mar ch, when hundreds of American 
prisoners and thousands of Filipinos 
were massacred by the Japanese^ 

When the war ended in August 
1945, General Yamashita was still 
holding out in the mountains be- 
yond the town of Baguio, his origi- 
nal force of nearly 300,000 reduced 
to 50,000. The naval forces in Ma- 
nila did not come under his com- 
mand. He had given no orders for 


the city’s defense and had lost com- 
munication before the battle began. 
Rut his trial as a war criminal was no 
doubt an inevitable consequence of 
the rape of Manila. 

The proceedings were held in the 
powder-blue ballroom of the partly 
wrecked residence once occupied by 
the U.S. high commissioner. Mili- 
tary police with starched shirts and 
long white gloves stood at every en- 
trance. Beneath large twin chande- 
liers, and facing the lofty French 
windows iwiHing to a patio and be- 
yond to Manila Bay with its hun- 
dreds of sunken ships, sat Major 
General R. B. Reynolds, the presid- 
ing judge, flanked by four other gen- 
erals assigned to the triaL 

With rows of medals on his dark 
green uniform, and his shaven head 
shining under the arc lights. General 
Yamashita sat with his American 
defense attorneys. Convinced that 
he was innocent of the charges, they 
wanted more time to prepare the 
defense. Permission was refused. 

The trial certainly brought out all 
the horrors of the dosing days of 
Japanese authority in Manila. But 
because the case was so hastily pre- 
pared, much of the evidence related 
to what had happened in the city 
during February 1945. It seemed to 
some of us reporting on that trial lhaL 
General Yamashita could scarcely be 
held accountable, even for command 
responsibility, in that terrible period. 

The first witness was Corazon 
Noble, a film star in the Philippines. 
She told bow her baby had been 
stabbed to death in her arms by a 
Japanese soldier. Witness after wit- 
ness added ghastly details. One wit- 
ness carried a stone in her blouse 
and tried to throw it at the impassive 
General Yamashita. Many witness- 
es broke down and sobbed. Their 
evidence; and their tears, were as 
much of hate as sorrow. 

The hearing lasted 42 days. When 
the court retired to consider the ver- 
dict, it was dear that a sentence of 
death by han ging was a mere for- 
mality. The sentence was carried out 
on Feb. 23, 1946, near Manila. 

No doubt there were many of- 
fenses for which the Japanese gener- 
al might have been tried. Justice on 
this occasion was perhaps not very 
kind. But it reflected the emotions 
and attitudes of the Allies as prison- 
ers of war, emaciated and tortured, 
emerged from Japanese captivity to 
tell tales of horror. It lent credence 
to the ill-informed notion that the 
Japanese were inhu man fanatics 
and that in fighting them, the end 
justified the means. 

The writer, who covered the war in 
the Pacific for Australian and British 
newspapers, contributed this comment 
to the International Herald Tribune.

THE DEATH OF COM- 
MON SENSE: How Law Is 
Suffocating America 

By Philip K. Howard. 202 pages.

Reviewed by Christopher 
“ Lehmann -Haupt 

A mericans may wen 

take pride in living under 
what Aristotle called “govern- 
ment by laws, not men,” but the 
situation has Lately become ri- 
diculous, writes PluKp K. How- 
ard in his exasperated book, 
“The Death of Common Sense: 
How Law Is Suffocating Amer- 
ica.” 

' Because of a campaign in the 
last three decades to substitute 
statutes for human judgment, 
Howard asserts, all sorts of un- 
■ intended consequences have oc- 
curred. 

• For instance, in 1991 New 
York CSty tested a system of 
coin-operated sidewalk tmlets 
that seemed to work perfectly. 
But the city was unable to in- 
stall the system, Howard writes,, 
because ^wheelchairs couldn’t 
-fit inside” the toilets, and “New 
‘ York’s anti-discrimination law 
-provides that it is illegal to 
‘withhold or deny from the dis- 
abled any access to *public ac-

“My family is from the

bed and breakfasts in upstate 
New York are operated illegally 
because “most cannot comply 
with fire codes specifying en- 
closed fire stairs and other re- 
quirements for ‘multi-story 
transient lodging’” that were 
written with motels in mind. By 
law, such bed and' breakfasts 
wfD either have to be rebuilt at a 
prohibitive expense or face go-

Stories tike these abound in 
“The Death of Common 
Sense,” stories of inflexible 
rules, of pointless bur costly 
regulations, of bureaucratic par 

raiysis and of conflicting de- 
mands for equality. In fact, the 
repetition of horror stories 
seems to be the org anizing prin- 
ciple of Howard’s tract.

presumed impasse was arrived 
aL America’s desire for a per- 
fect system of laws, he writes, 
“comes directly out of the En- 
lightenment,” when “the phi- 
losophy of rationalism” held 
“that a natural order in govern- 
ment could be found similar to 
the order that Isaac Newton 
thought he had found in na- 
ture.” 

With the New Deal, he con- 
tinues, “statutes began to domi- 
nate the legal landscape, pro- 
viding job relief, welfare 
programs and Social Security; 
agencies like the Securities and 
Exchange Commission were 
created as part of a broad plan 
to regulate the economy.” 

But in the 1950s, he contin- 
ues, “the abuses of McCarthy- 
ism and civil rights violations in 
the South had led ... to a 
heightened distrust of govern- 
ment officials” that developed 
“overpowering momentum dur- 
ing the counterculture revolu- 
tion” in the 1960s. 

Howard tingles out two peo- 
ple fra: promoting a greater reli- 
ance on law: to a rumor extent 
Theodore J. Lowi, who in his 
book “The End of Liberalism: 
Policy and the Crisis of Public 


Authority” (1969), in Howard’s 
words, “saw greater specificity 
as the antidote for special inter- 
est groups." 

And to a major degree he 
blames Charles A. Reich, the 
Yale professor who wrote “The 
Greening of America,” for two 
influential articles that ap- 
peared in the Yale Law Journal, 
“The New Property" (1964) 
and “Individual Rights and So- 
cial Welfare: The Emerging Lc - 1 
gal Issues” (1965). i 

These writings redefined in- 
dividual rights as property re- 
quiring the respect of govern- 
ment. “Government should 
gain no power,” Reirib asserted, 
“by reason of its role as a dis- 
penser of wealth." 

In Howard’s view, this was a 
confusion of power with free- 
dom, and ahem what was once j 
considered “rights against law," 
or in James Madison’s words 
“rights against aD government ■ 
encroachments,” to what Isaiah 
Berlin has defined as the right 
to anything More succinctly 1 
put, rights were changed from a ! 
shield to a sword. i 

An effect of this change, in . 
the author's view, has been the j 
opposite of what was intended, i 


many laws on the bodes, there 
is no law. With so many weap- 
ons to fight hatred, everyone 
fights one another and hatred 
increases. . 

“Creating rules without flexi- 
bility is just a version of central 
planning” he writes. 

What Howard is trying to do 
with this thoughtful little book 
is drive us all sane.

Around the W orld 
In a Lifetime of 
Coffeehouses 


By Paul Hofmann 

New York Tima Service 

A S a native Viennese who in my 
youth spent too much time in 
coffeehouses, I have sought out 
substitutes in my travels around 
the world ever since. 

I have found some in unlikely places. 
One was in what is now Kinshasa, Zaire, 
(then, in 1960, Leopoldville) near the post 
office; it was actually an ice cream parlor, 
but it had strong coffee, a sidewalk terrace 
and, during the sudden tropical sunset, 
something of a mellow mood. Fink's on 
Hahistadruth Street in Jerusalem — also 
not strictly a coffeehouse but a bar with a 
email restaurant attached — somehow 
combined restfuiuess with exhilaration. 

Elsewhere in my travels outside Europe 
I found coffee shops, tearooms, brasseries, 
pizzerias, taverns and places that are tout- 
ed as international watering boles, winch 
usually turn out to be overdecorated bars 
in expense-account hotels. A coffeehouse 
is something else again. 

First, the accent must be on coffee, 
although alcoholic drinks may be avail- 
able too. Coziness is another requirement: 
it’s that indefinable gemtithchkeit that 
may very well be accompanied by, and 
may even be enhanced by, a degree of 
shabbiness — threadbare carpets, slightly 
greasy banquettes, faded wallpaper. 

The ultimate test of coffeehouse au- 
thenticity is relaxation. You mustn’t be 
disturbed after you have ordered your 
beverage. You may nurse it for hours, ask 
for a slice of cake with it, pencil the layout 
of the ideal studio apartment on your 
table’s marble top, chat with friends, flirt, 
indulge in reveries, write screenplays or 
read. A coffeehouse in Central Europe 
supplies the day’s newspapers as well as 
the Latest issues of magazines free. 

Plenty of literature was bom in coffee- 
houses. Nikolai Gogol wrote much of 
“Dead Souls” in the Antico Caffe Greco 
on Via Condotti in Rome. The establish- 
ment, with its early- 19th-century dfecor, 
blade marble tables and frock-coated 
waiters, still exists; it is a landmark and 
one of my favorites. The guest book con- 
tains autographs from Stendhal, Baude- 
laire, Wagner and list. 

In the mid-1950s Giuseppe di Lampe- 
dusa went every morning to the Caffe 
Mazzara on the Via Generate Magliocco 
or the Caffe Caftisch on the Viale della 
Libertk in Palermo to work on his novel 
“The Leopard." 

hi Prague, the Aico. opposite the old 
railroad terminal counted, among its regu- 
lars Franz Kafka, his friend Max Brad, 
the novelist Franz Werfd and other writ- 
ers and intellectuals. 

Any number of litterateurs have haunt- 
ed the Left Bank caffes in Paris. Now the 


ha u n ti ng at Aux Deux-Magots and the 
Caffe de Flore in Saint-Gennain-desrPrfes 
is done mostly by tourists. 

Alfred Polgar, who for many years 
crafted his scintillating essays and drama 
reviews at the Caffe Central in Vienna, said 
that coffeehouses were for “people who 
want to be alooe but need company for 
it," while for lovers and married couples 
the coffeehouse was “a refuge from the 
terrors of undisturbed togetherness." 

Later, in exile in Los Angeles, Polgar 
pined for the Caffe Central and eventually 
emigrated back to Zurich where he settled 
in at the Caffe Odeon on Lunmatquai 
James Joyce, Richard Strauss and W. 
Somerset Maugham were also fcabitufes 
there. I never pass up the Odeon when I 
visit Zurich. 

My other favorites include the chatty 
places around the Rossio in Lisbon’s cen- 
ter, the coffee is excellent. In Budapest I 
prefer the two rooms of the Ruszwunn on 
Buda Castle Hill to the large Gerbeaud 
shop on Vorosmarty Square. The 168- 
year-old Ruszwurm with its neoclassical 
columns, stucco work and Biedermeter 
cane chairs oozes atmosphere. Hie elegant 
Gerbeaud, which has a popular open-air 
terrace, is a confectioner that also serves 
coffee and tea. 

In Salzburg I am drawn to the Toma- 
sefli on the river embankment where Mo- 
zart’s father was a regular, and to the 
Glockenspiel opposite the carillon on Mo- 
zartplatz. 

In Venice, the venerable Caffe Honan 
on the south side of St Mark’s Square 
with its many tables in the piazza in the 
warm months and its austere interior on 
foggy winter days offers the chance for a 
breather to visitors who are exhausted 
from walking up and down innumerable 
canal bridges. In nearby Padua, the 163- 
year-old Caffe Fedrocchi, watched by 
stone lions in front of its noble Doric 
columns, opposite the ancient university, 
is another glorious landmark. In Trieste, 
at the Caffe degli Specchi on the airy 
Piazza UnitA d’ltaha I always have the 
feeling of being back in Vienna. 

One of the old coffeehouses in my na- 
tive city that remains in business is the 
Prfcckl on Stubenring. My friends and I 
used to hold cram sessions before exams 
there, played chess, made and received 
telephone calls, and courted girls (rarely 
with success). The eideriy head waiter, 
Fer dinand, suffered from an arthritic 
shoulder and often muttered to himself, 
but tirelessly brought us yet another stack 
of newspapers on bamboo holders, refilled 
our water glasses and fetched the requisite 
volume of the encyclopedia that we need- 
ed for that tricky Eight Down of a cross- 
word puzzle. In a smoky back room, peo- 
ple who seemed like fossils to us played 
rummy and bridge endlessly. 







For a laugh, and whenever we could 
afford it, we descended to a basement 
theater under the PrOdd where a faux- 
rusdc troupe with phony Tirotean accents 
performed parodies erf onoe-popular dra- 
mas of chivalry in which armored knights 
would rescue pigtailed dams els and horri- 
bly punish the fiendish and lustful robber 
baron. 

The Priickl is one of the few survivors of 
the many coffeehouses that once lined the 
Ringstrasse, the horseshoe-shaped boule- 
vard hugging the historic city core. Anoth- 
er is the glittering Landtmann, opposite 
Vienna University, where Sigmund Freud 
occasionally played taxok. his favorite 
card game, with academic friends. 


T HE Imperial near the State Op- 
era, which Gustav Mahler fa- 
vored, is also still gang strong. 
The Caffe Museum, near the Art 
Academy, where Egon Schiele and Elias 
Canetti used to hang out, is crowded with 
students these days and pleasantly seedy. 

Polgars Caffe Central on Herrengasse 
was refurbished and reopened some years 
ago. At a table near the entrance there is

now a hf e-size statue of Peter Altenberg,

lived in that coffeehouse and got his mail 
there. Trotsky played chess at the Central 
before the Russian Revolution, and Rob- 
ert Musti, Hermann Broch, W erf el and 
other writers were among the clientele. 

Today, despite stiff rents, high labor 
costs and television, which keeps many 
people at home in the evening, Vienna still 

boasts 1,500 coffeehouses. And Rome 
provides the beloved and indispensable 
stimulant in 6,000 espresso places, many 
with at least a few tables. 

During my latest sojourn in New York 2

J ACKSON HOLE, Wyoming — 
Along with cowpokes and weather- 
worn Stetsons, what endures from 
the mythic West is its wildlife — aD 
those boulder-size boson with snow cm 
their snouts, grizzly bears chomping an 
huckleberries, or wild horses sprinting 
through a draw. 

Photographs, even to this day, have 
never really done justice to these images. 
And modi of the art of Western wildlife 
has been dismissed as place-mat kitsch. 

This is unfair, defenders of thi« unique- 
ly American art form have long argued. 
But until the recent unveiling in Jackson 
Hole, Wyoming, erf what is said to be the 
world’s most extensive collection of 
■ American wildlife art, there has been no 
real shrine for such work. - . . . . 

The National Wildlife Art Museum, 
which opened in September, is three miles 
north <rf the town of Jackson and just 
south of Grand Teton National Park. Its 
more than 50,000 square feet (4,650 
square meters) of gallay spare is devoted 
primarily to sculptures, paintings and 
sketches of American wfldufe. 

Most of die focus is on the West’s so- 
called mega-fauna, the animals that 
stunned European visitors and were a 
source of reverence — and food — for the 
native people. 

The new museum, replacing a «maH one 
opened in 1987. is notched into a hillside 
shadowed by the Teton Mountains and 
overlooking the Gros Ventre Mountains. A 
hundred feet below, in the broad, flat valley 
carved by the Snake River, is the National 
EDc Refuge — nearly 25,000 acres of winter 
range for an enormous herd that comes 
down from Yellowstone and Grand Teton . 

national parts. 

From the museum, a visitor is dose 
enough to see the steam of a boll elk’s 
breath. In late fall the refuge is a sea of 
antlers moving over the snow. Moose, 
bighorn sheep, bison, mule deer and a 
variety of biros also gather there at differ- 
ent times of the year. 

It's one thing to look at an Albeit Bier- 
stadt painting in the Metropolitan Muse- 
um of Art in New York, but to see it high 
in the Rocky Mountains is to gauge it 
against the source of inspiration. “Elk 
Grazing in the Wind River Country," a 
Bierstadt painting from his first trip out 
West, in 1861, is a good example. It has 
been given prominent wall space in the 
wildlife museum. A peek out the window 
reveals a stunning scene of a similar sort, 
be it geese flocking to die refuge or a storm 
breaking up at dusk. 

The building — designed by Curt Fen- 
tress and Brian Chaffee erf the Denver 
firm of CW. Fentress and JJL Bradburu 


& Associates — is sheathed in brown 
stone and looks like a large nock outcrop- 
ping poking, its head from the hillside. 
Only after one ascends the Mil and ap- 
proaches the Tnyyaim from an entrance 
tha t is hidden from the road does the 
magnitude of the place become dear. In- 
side are 1,300 works by more than 100 
artists, spanning a period of nearly 200 
years. 

In addition to the 12 galleries, there is a 
200-seat auditorium, two dasaooms, a film 
library, ah outdoor sculpture garden and a 
deb caffe (serving old Western campfire 


Even before entering the museum, a 
visitor is shuck by the imger-thaa-life 
aspects of the subject matter. Resting in 
bronze near the parking lot are two large 
bison, more than twice normal size, the 
work of T. D. Kelsey, a Montana sculptor. 
... One thing is immediately obvious: tins 
wildlife art has been done for the most part 
by European and American painters. The 
wade of American Indians is largely absent. 

Dan Provo, the director, wants the wild- 
life museum to serve as a source of schol- 
arship and discussion about issues related 
to the West Among current exhibitions 
are ones devoted to Charles M. Russell 
tiie noted cowboy artist (through June 24), 
and Bill Goflings, a Wyoming painter who 
died in 1932 (Feb. 4 to May 9).

nent collection is Carl Rungius, a

Bison MHUozis,” winch used to bang in the 
Jackson Lodge in Grand Teton Na- 
tional Park, is the first big piece of art a 
viator sees after entering the gallery sec- 
tions of the museum. Rungius said of the 
animate that inspired hix work, “No One* 
wfll paint them as I have because no one 
will see them as 1 have.” 

RusseD and George Catlin, among the. 
best known artists of the old West, are also 
given ample space. I was drawn to Rus- 
sell's illustrated letters. They were done in 
thoughtful careful cursive, with doodles 
of cowboys, horses and other animals dec-, 
orating the pages. His bronze sculptures, 
placed in a room with his letters and some' 
of his sketches, show how he tried to 
captme an animal in its fiiO athleticism. 

The museum lias a gallery called Habi- 
tat for Young People, with life-size animal] 
silhouettes, trees and an area where chil- 
dren. can dress up in animal costumes. If 
that isn’t incentive enough to lure them 
into the worid of wildlife arl they can 
always look outride, in a place where the] 
canvas is never blank.

an anal-compulsive, middle- 
aged art restorer with asth-

courted by Giulio/a (Eva

“Belle al Bar” (The Beauties

is with your national carrier. “Cross- bor- 


N: 


EVER pay the rack rate or walk- 
in rate at an expensive hotel. 
Every traveler should belong to 
at least me half-price hold pro- 
gram. For a fee, you get a directory listing 
about 1,000 holds that offer members a 50 
percent discount subject to availability. But 
whatever discount you're offered, it’s al- 
ways a good idea to call the hold directly to 
ask about special offers or weekend promo- 


tions, which may not make it into central 
novations. Always ask for. the net rate: 
The discount may apply only to high-price 
rooms or an inflated rack rate. 

What you save by cutting a deal on the 
room may disappear on hotel services. 
Laundry can cost more than you paid for 
the garments, room service menus are pad- 
ded well above restaurant prices, and nrim- 
bars are an unashamed gouge. Breakfast, 
especially Continental breakfast, can be 
exorbitant You may find a nearby caf£ 
cheaper and more congenial. 

Which is a good reason for choosing a 
hold on location as weD as price. It’s 
worth paying a bit more to be closer to 
wbere you need to be. No need for taxis. 
And nothing beats being able to walk to 
the office, restaurants and shops. I some- 
times choose a hotel that is close to the 
airport bus or a subway station. 

Next time you need a hold for more 
than a couple of days, consider a serviced 
apartment: a two-room suite for 25 to 50 
percent less than a standard hotel double 
— and more than twice the space. Plus 
you have a kitchen and refrigerator so that 
you can bring in your own food and drink 
at sensible prices. 

Avoid outrageous hotel phone charges 
(markups of 900 percent or more) with a 
telephone charge card. I use a BT charge 
card in Europe and an AT&T card in the 
United States. 

Some travelers use a mobile phone that 
works on the new GSM (Global System for 
Mobiles) digital network that enables you 
to make ana receive calls nearly anywhere. 
Calls are more expensive than fixed 
phones, but far cheaper than calling from a 
hotel room. One way to beat the system is 
to use a callback service an your mobile. 
The incoming call cannot rKatingtiidh be- 
tween amobDe and a fired phone. So you’ll 
only be paying around 30 cents a minu te 
from London to New York.

LORENCE — This city has al- 
ways been one of Europe's most 
popular destinations, long before 
Condi Nast proclaimed it Amer- 
ica’s favorite tourist spot for 1994. And. 
until recently, it was one of the most 
difficult spots on the Continent to reach. 

Jet-lagged travelers arriving overnight 
from New York or Los Angeles were 
forced to land at Rome, and then to brave 
a 50- min ute cab ride to Rome's Ter mini 
train station, followed by a two- or three- 
hour rail trip to Florence. The transfer 
time was even longer for those visitors 
who landed in Milan. By the time most 
tourists arrived in the city of the Medici, 
they couldn’t see Brunelleschi’s famous 
dome or the gold-bedecked Ponte Vecchio 
through their leaden eyelids. 

Today, after a long and lingering battle. 
Florence has a legitimate airport, with 
direct flights to most major European cit- 
ies, and excellent connections to North 
American, South American, African and 
Asian destinations. 

“A city like Florence cannot afford to 
be without an airport,'* said Florence's 
mayor, Giorgio Morales, at the Dec. 17 
inauguration of the new Amerigo Vespuc- 
ci airport passenger terminal. “This is the 
victory of those who believed in our pro- 
ject And all those who tried to block our 
progress are now in hiding.” 

Apart from the typically Italian politi- 
cal infighting and inertia that saddles pub- 
lic works projects all along die peninsula, 
the opposition to the expansion of the 
Florence airport was essentially based on 
environmental grounds. Concern over the 
environmental impact of the air traffic 
may have been legi tima te, although the 
pollution created by 20 turboprop and 
mini-jet planes each day is certainly negli- 
gible when compared to that produced by 
tile thousands of automobiles that race 
down the nearby highway. 

More cogent was the issue of a canal 
toward the end of the rather short, 1,400- 
meter (4,600-foot) runway, a canal airport 
officials wanted to dam in order to tack 
another 250 meters onto the landing strip 
to increase the safety margin. Officials 
from the town of Sesto Fiorentino had 
successfully impeded the project, citing, 
and rightfully so, the enormous ecological 
and hydrological damage the city would 
suffer if the canal were blocked. Then- 
protests were eventually accepted; the 
new project to expand the landing strip 
includes an additional $1.5 million, the 
cost of diverting the waterway. 

The new terminal, it must be" said, is ugly, 
with its opaque Florentine violet columns 
and countertops and pink encaustic tile. 
Yet more significant than its aesthetics, the 
terminal is only mar ginally larger than the 
temporary station it replaces, although pas- 
sengers wiB no longer have to stand on each 
others’ toes while jousting for a shot at the 



IHT 


minuscule luggage belt. The new terminal 
also includes a 640-slot parking Iol It is 
still a 20- minute cab or bus ride to the 
Santa Maria Novella train station. 

“The new terminal is bom inadequate," 
admitted Antonio Romofi, director-gener- 
al of the airport, “because it was designed 
in 1 987. when no one could have predicted 
the enormous expansion of passenger traf- 
fic that has occurred.” 

Enormous indeed. Between 1990 and 
1994, passenger volume at Florence in- 
creased from 166,000 to 650,000. Today 
there are flights to and from nine Italian 
cities, including three daily with Rome and 
Milan, and Florence has plugged into an 
international network that links it to 12 
European cities, including Paris, Brussels, 
Frankfurt and London, all with ready 
transfers to cities across the globe! 


B 


UT there are still problems to be 
sorted out. The airport lacks a 
radio-assisted ILS air-traffic sys- 
tem, meaning that poor weather 
can detour a Florence-bound flight to Bo- 
logna. It also lacks a functional taxiway; 

‘ planes have to roll down to the end of the 
runway, turn around, and then take off. 

There are a few more pressing issues. 
While most of the international destina- 
tions are served by the quadrijet BAe-146 
airplane, many national flights are still exe- 
cuted by the ATR model whose safety 
record in icy conditions has raised concern 
among American pilots. An additional 
safety issue was flagged by the Florentine 
union or police, which claimed that security 
measures for checked baggage was lax at 
Amerigo Vespucci. 

“We are learning as we go along, - " said 
Valentino Giannotti, president of the air- 
port. “Certainly when this airport was the 
size erf a five-and- dim e store, we didn’t have 
these problems. Sometimes the psychosis of 
danger is worse than danger itself.”

Quake Damage Cost; U.S. Uses 
$95 Billion and Up Rights Issue 

Repair to Buildings, Transport, Meddle, 

jf Budget China Says 

The Associated Press 


By Paul Blustein 

Washington Post Service 

KYOTO, Japan — With a 
debate beginning to emerge 
here about how to pay for the 
earthquake in December, offi- 
cials in western Japan have esti- 
mated the cost at $95 billion. 

The government of Hyogo 
Prefecture, where the quake hit 
hardest, said (he biggest part of 
the cost, about $58 billion, in- 
volved damage to homes and 
buildings. The rest included 
damage to gas and water instal- 
lations, highways, rail lines and 
the port of Robe. 

Officials described the esti- 
mate as preliminary and said it 
was based on a continuing sur- 
vey of collapsed buildings. 
They emphasized that the sum 
could rise easily. The new_ esti- 
mate is about $10 billion higher 
than one issued Monday. 

Most of the economists who 
have been assessing the impact 
of the quake have said that the 
rebuilding effort, while costly, 
should eventually help Japan 
bolster its economic growth, af- 
ter a few months in which sup- 
plies and production are dis- 
rupted. 

Nevertheless. $95 billion rep- 
resents about 7 percent of the 
national government budget, 
and the central government is 
planning to pay for much of the 
reconstruction or to finance it 
through subsidies and loans. As 
a result, talk of higher taxes has 
begun to be heard. 


Kosaku Inaba, chairman of 
the Japan Chamber of Com- 
merce and Industry, said Thurs- 
day that tax. increases would be 
needed, possibly by speeding 
up tbe consumption-tax in- 
crease that is scheduled to take 
effect in 1997. 

The chief government 
spokesman, Kozo Igarashi, has 
refused to rale out such a move, 
although be has emphasized 
that the government is “study- 
ing” a variety of financing pos- 
sibilities. 

Finance Minister Masayoshi 
Takemura has said that “it 
would be appropriate to consid- 
er” raising taxes in the fiscal 
year starting April 1. 

But important local and na- 
tional elections loom this year, 
so politicians will probably be 
even more loath than usual to 
support tax increases. 

Leaders of the Socialist Par- 
ty, to which Prime Minister To- 
miichi Murayama belongs, 
voiced strong opposition 
Thursday to any form of tax 
increase. 

Some members of the busi- 
ness community also argue 
against new taxes and favor 
various forms of bond issues 
instead. 

Shoichiro Toyoda, chairman 
of the Keidanren, Japan’s most 
powerful big-business group, 
said Wednesday that he was op- 
posed to raising taxes by any 
means, including by .waling 
back the income-tax reductions 
approved last year. 


BAUBLES: Hyderabad’s Heirs 


Contkmed from Page 1 

Tati, a grandson of the seventh 
niram who spends much of his 
time on a 200 ,000- heel are 
(500,000-acre) sheep ranch in 
western Australia, the settle- 
ment was bittersweet 

For many, the settlement — 
which involves cash payouts for 
some, annual dividends for oth- 
ers — will provide badly needed 
cash to pay off debts or to sup- 
plement declining incomes 
from tbe seventh nizam’s other 
trusts. 

Indian newspapers have re- 
ported that some of the heirs 
have barely been scraping by on 
annuities from other trusts that 
have shrunk to the equivalent of 
as little as $50 a month. 

One of the old nizam’s great- 
grandsons, Dilshed Jah, known 
around Hyderabad for his taste 
in Japanese motorcycles, went 
on a hunger strike in 1991 in an 
attempt to wring an increase in 
the annuities from executors. 

“We can't take any menial 
job, as people will sneer at us," 
he said. 

Now that the jewelry has 
been sold, other feelings have 
come into play. 

Mohammed A. Hadi, who 
represented the family as secre- 
tary of the jewelry trust, said he 
fell some chagrin as he watched 
an inventory of the collection 
last month during the handover 
at the Hongkong & Shanghai 
Bank in Bombay. 

“Of course, after nearly 20 
years, they were happy that 
there was some finality to the 
matter” Mr. Hadi said m a tele- 
phone conversation from Hy- 
derabad. "But it was also an 
emotional, a wrenching thing.” 

“They were naturally disap- 
pointed that they couldn't get a 
better price," he said 

The jewelry sale has also re- 
vived an old debate about the 
princely families. 

The debale has ebbed and 
flowed since 1970, when Prime 


Minister Indira Gandhi an- 
nulled agreements reached in 
1947 under which the rulers of 
the princely states received gen- 
erous state pensions as well as 
other privileges for ceding their 
domains to the new republic of 
India. 

Some think it outrageous that 
Indian taxpayers are still pay- 
ing for treasures like the Hyder- 
abad jewels. Others argue that 
India owes a debt to the survi- 
vors of the princely families for 
having accumulated the palaces 
and works of art — and the 
jewelry — that now form part 
erf tbe country’s cultural legacy. 


The Associated Press 

BEIJING — China on 
Thursday accused the United 
States of using “tbe excuse of 
human rights’' to meddle in 
China's internal affairs. 

China's Foreign Ministry is- 
sued a statement through the 
official Xinhua press agency in 
response to the US. State De- 
partment's annual report on hu- 
man-rights violations that was 
issued Wednesday. 

“The United States has no 
right to make indiscreet re- 
marks about the internal affairs 
of China or any other country,” 
a Foreign Ministry spokesman 
said. 

“We are resolutely opposed 
to such a move of interference 
in other countries' internal af- 
fairs on die excuse of human 
rights,” said the spokesman, 
whose name was not given. 

The report says China is an 
authoritarian state with a re- 
cord of “widespread and well- 
documented human rights 
abuses” that include arbitrary 
and lengthy incommunicado 
detention, torture, mistreat- 
ment of prisoners, restriction of 
press and political freedoms, 
and repression in Tibet 

The Chinese spokesman 
countered, however, that Chi- 
na’s constitution and laws had 
“fully guaranteed the various 
democratic rights and interests 
of tbe people of all ethnic 
groups in the country.” 

He also said that China had 
made progress in protecting hu- 
man rights since the country 
was founded as a Communist 
state in 1949. But, be said, the 
State Department report ig- 
nored China’s progress “and 
made improper comments on 
the h uman rights situation in 
China” in order to serve “ulteri- 
or motives.” 

The Xinhua report on the 
spokesman’s comments did not 
specify which comments China 
objected to or what it saw as the 
intent of the United States. 

“It is our consistent stand 
that the human rights issue is 
essentially within the scope of 
the sovereignty of a country,” 
the spokesman said. 

China maintains that it pro- 
tects important rights by pro- 
viding for subsistence, includ- 
ing protection from cold and 
hanger.

SWEDEN: Cutbacks in Welfare 


Cartiaued from Page ] 
of 13 percent. Prime Minister 
Ingvar Carlsson has had little 
choice but to seek spending 
cuts. 

In January the government 
proposed a four-year, $15 bil- 
lion program of spending cuts 
and tax increases, by far tbe 
biggest austerity package in the 
country’s history, in an effort to 
stop the growth in the deficit 
and to bring down high interest 
rates. 

The deficit surged from 7.4 
percent of gross domestic prod- 
uct in 1992 to 135 percent in 
1993. Although it dropped 
slightly by some measures last 
year, it remains far higher than 
the average of 3.8 percent for 
the world's largest industrial 
countries. 

Mr. Carlsson said he was 
confident of getting his package 
through Parliament, despite 
complaints from the left that 
the cuts were too deep and from 
tbe right that he was relying too 
much on tax increases. By 1997. 
he said, the deficit should be 
down to around 7 percent of 
gross domestic product. 

“We’re trimming the system, 
not dismantling it,” Mr. Carls- 


son said in an interview. “It’s 
very dear to me as a Social 
Democrat that if we want a so- 
cial welfare system we have to 
have the income to pay for it 
The condition for this is to 
strengthen the Swedish econo- 
my, and that’s exactly what we 
are doing now.” 

Mr. Carisson's budget strate- 
gy has set off protests from 
some of those affected, indud- 
ing several thousand students 
who marched in Stockholm in 
January to protest cuts in their 
grants. 

But many business executives 
and economists contend that 
tbe government has been loo 
timid in its cuts. 

“In our view the proposed 
measures will not be sufficient, 
either in scope or direction, to 
achieve tbe necessary correc- 
tion in state finances or the 
growth for which the govern- 
ment is striving,” the chairmen 
of eight of Sweden’s largest 
companies said in a letter to 
Mr. Carlsson. 

Some analysts say that rather 
than snip around tbe edges of 
the benefit programs, the gov- 
ernment needs to reassess the 
system completely. 


By Rick Atkinson 

Washington Post Service 

BERLIN — As flood waters continued 
to recede Thursday across most of Europe, 
communities from southern Germany to 
the Netherlands found themselves won- 
dering how two “once-in-a-cenlury” 
floods could hit the region within 13 
months. 

The rampage this week came as hun- 
dreds of thousands of people who live 
along the Rhine, the Moselle, the Main 
and other rivers had barely recovered from 
the devastating Chris tinas deluge of 1993. 
Damage from the two floods is likely to 
reach tens of billions of dollars. 

Meteorologists suspect the catastrophic 
flooding is more than the result of unusual- 
ly heavy winter rains. Rather, they theo- 
rize, a combination of urbanization, mod- 
ern farming practices, navigation 
improvements and questionable flood 
plain management have rendered low-ly- 
ing areas increasingly vulnerable. 

Farmland and particularly urban areas 
do not absorb water as effectively as land 
in its natural state. Many experts contend 
that decades of squeezing European rivers, 
particularly the Rhine, into an ever tighter 
channel have made them unstable. 

Tbe SQeddeutsche Zeilung newspaper 


decried tbe “flood of sins and failures,” 
and recriminations have flowed even faster 
than the water has ebbed. 

Dutch officials have been particularly 
biting in their criticism of upstream Ger- 
many for a wiDy-nilly approach to water- 
shed conservation, and neighboring gover- 
nors wi thin Germany have traded potshots 
over flood control procedures. 

By virtue of size and geography. Germa- 
ny has been both breeding ground and 
victim of the superfloods. 

One-eighth of Germany lies beneath as- 
phalt and concrete. Every day, according 
to Der Spiegel magazine, 90 more hectares 
(225 acres) are covered for streets, parking 
lots or other urban ventures. Widespread 
deforestation has also stripped the land of 
one of its most effective natural sponges. 
In addition, many farms are now criss- 
crossed with drainage ditches that effec- 
tively remove water from crop fields by 
dum p in g it immediately into rivers. 

Another factor is the gradual straighten- 
ing and channeling of the Rhine, which 
began in 1830. By removing bends and 
loops, German engineers have given the 
river a greater capacity for barge traffic; 
they also made a a singularly effective 
conduit for massive volumes of water flow- 


ing into western Germany and the Nether- 
lands. 

At Karlsruhe in southwest Germany, for 
example, the Rhine crested at eight meters 
(25 feet) above flood stage only four times 
in the century before 1977; since then, the 
river has hit that mark 20 times, according 
to Die Zdt newspaper. 

“This high water is partly manma de,*' 
Klaudia Martini, environment minister for 
the German state of Rhineland-Palatmate, 
said earlier this week. “We've been raping 
nature for 40 years, and we've got to 
change that.” 

One proposed solution is to create more 
polders — catch basins along rivers that 
can be used to divert rising waters before 
they rampage out of control But such 
safety valves are extremely expensive and 
are often resisted by local communities 
and fanners who do not want to see their 
fluvial plains converted into swamps. 
Moreover, as events this week demonstrat- 
ed, eves where polders exist there is often 
dissension over when and how to use them. 

The European media have made much 
this week of the hypothesis that weather 
patterns have been insidiously affected by 
global wanning. But many climatologists 
believe that evidence is too still too scanty 
to draw a direct link between evolving 
weather and the recent flood disasters. 


MEXICO: Peso Rescue Package’s Burden of Debt Leaves Citizens Anxious 


BALKANS: U.S. Concentrates on New Trouble Spots 


Con ti nued from Page 1 

Holbrooke said. “We have a 
policy, but we are now in the 
process of finding out how to 
proceed.” 

Mr. Holbrooke's tenure has 
been marked by a significant 
shift in U.S. treatment of the 
Bosnian Serbs, from keeping 
them at arm’s length to showing 
a greater willingness to accom- 
modate their wishes for changes 
in the partition plan and estab- 
lishing links with Serbia. The 


policy has not lured the Serbs to 
the table. 

Mr. Holbrooke acknowl- 
edged that efforts within the so- 
called contact group of media- 
tors from the United States. 
France, Britain, Germany and 
Russia, have culminated in a 
breakdown in talks. 

Only France has come up 
with an optioa: a meeting of 
major powers and the warring 
countries and factions. 

The Clinton administration 


regards a conference as un- 
wieldy and an arena more for 
spectacle than progress, but has 
not rgected the idea out of 
band, a U.S. official said. 

As for the Croatian-Musliro 
federation, U.S. officials were 
hoping the arrangement would 
lead to creation of an integrated 
government and society. In- 
stead, the Croats and Muslims 
are creating separate schools 
and police forces, and main- 
taining separate armies.

glimpse at just how dire Mexi- 
co’s crisis had become when it 
reported late Wednesday that 
foreign reserves had fallen to 
$3.48biHion by Tuesday — and 
that included a $2.1 billion 
credit infusion that was part of 
518 billion credit line offered by 
foreign governments and insti- 
tutions in January, The Associ- 
ated Press reported from Mexi- 
co City. The International 
Herald Tribune reported earlier 
in the week, quoting a U.S. offi- 
cial, that Mexico’s own reserves 
had fallen as low as $2 billion-1 

The euphoric response from 
Mexico’s stock market Tues- 
day, when the main index 
jumped more than 10 percent, 
was followed by a sobering 4.6 
percent dive Wednesday. The 
index dosed down 2.8 percent 
Thursday. 

As Mexico City residents 
noted, the loan infusion will 
take a long time to reverse an 
economic situation in which 
tens or thousands of Mexicans 
remain jobless as prices of con- 
sumer goods rise steadily in re- 
action to a more than 40 per- 
cent devaluation of the peso 
since Dec. 20. 

“What do we have to show 
for ourselves?” a retiree. Mar- 
garita Ortiz, asked. “They’re 
running people off from fac- 
tories. Plants are closing down. 
Inflation is still growing, and 
everyone is loo frightened to 
complain. So we get however 
many billions of dollars in this 
loan from tbe United States — 
it’s just another debt.” 


Already, the political ramifi- 
cations of Mexico’s economic 
crisis are being felt. The conser- 
vative opposition National Ac- 
tion Party, or PAN, has begun a 
bumper-sticker campaign with 
the slogan, “Don’t blame me. I 
voted PAN.” 

In one of the most telling 
political reactions, voters pre- 
paring for a Feb. 12 election in 
the central state of Jalisco ap- 
pear ready to deprive Mr. Zedil- 
lo’s long-ruling Institutional 
Revolutionary Party, or PRI. of 
the governorship for the first 
time since the party’s founding 
in 1928. A poll published by the 


newspaper Siglo 21 in Jalisco’s 
capital, Guadalajara, shows the 
party's gubernatorial candidate 
trailing bis National Action ri- 
val by 20 percentage points. 

“Our results indicate that 
people are not so much inclined 
to vote for PAN than they are 
determined to vote against tbe 
PRJ," the Siglo 21 editor, Jorge 
Zepeda, said, “and it is almost 
100 percent because of the eco- 
nomic situation. 

A cellular telephone sales- 
man, Manuel Pefia, mocked a 
Mexico City newspaper head- 
line that proclaimed, “Money. 
Money, Money. Viva Clinton!” 


and he predicted that the cheer 
would eventually turn to grief. 

“People act like they’re going 
to be millionaires because of 
this," he said. “It doesn’t work 
that way." 

Juan Alvarez, a representa- 
tive of an auto-financing com- 
pany. said he expected a busi- 
ness boost because of the effect 
the loan package had on inter- 
est rates. Before Mr. Clinton's 
announcement, the average 
Mexican car loan carried an an- 
nual rate of 37 percent to 44 
percent Overnight Mr. Alvarez 
said, the rate dropped to 32 per- 
cent, and was still falling. 


LOANS: Europeans Protest Clinton’s Rush at IMF

to vote on the package. They 
complained that the agreement 
had been worked out between 
the Fund’s managing director. 
Michel Camdessus, and the 
Clinton administration, with- 
out involving other major con- 
tributors to the Fund. 

Though at times countries 
will abstain in approving loans, 
European finance officials said 
Thursday that it was very rare 
that such discord erupts over a 
major a id package. 

Fund officials would not 
comment on whether the Euro- 
pean countries had abstained. 
But Mr. Camdessus indicated 
at a news conference Thursday 
in Washington that the vote was 
not unanimous. He said that of 
the full membership, 85 percent 
backed tbe package. The five 


European nations have a 16.65 
percent share of the votes. 

“There is a feeling of unease 
among Europeans that the 
whole thing was not handled 
very well at all." said an official 
who had abstained from voting. 

The European officials said 
the package was sure to be a 
sore subject this weekend when 
the finance ministers and chief 
central bankers of the seven 
major industrial countries meet- 

“We normally have two to 
three weeks to approve such aid 
packages," a German official 
said. “When there is an emer- 
gency we usually have two to 
three days. On this one, we had 
less than an hour." 

European financial officials 
added that Paris would also 
have abstained except for the 
fact that Mr. Camdessus is 
French. 


“There is a sense that the 
French could not vote against 
their fellow countryman," a Eu- 
ropean official said. 

Officials said the size of the 
IMF program for Mexico made 
them concerned about coming 
requests for aid from other 
countries — particularly Rus- 
sia, which is negotiating a $15 
billion loan package with the 
Fund, and other East European 
countries. They said such a 
huge injection of funds, while 
not jeopardizing the Fund's li- 
quidity, would still make it 
more difficult to proride aid 
packages for other countries. 

They also warned that as a 
result of the Mexican crisis, oth- 
er countries like Brazil might 
need added levels of assistance 
and would come to the Fund 
expecting larger handouts.

In Netherlands, 
Tulips Are Safe 
From Flooding 

The Astodoied Press 

HILLEGOM, Nether- 
lands — Flower lovers can 
breathe a sigh of relief. De- 
spite the Dutch floods, the 
tulip harvest is safe. 

“Almost 100 percent of 
our tuKp production is out- 
side of the flooding area,” 
said Bert NoHen, marketing 
director at tbe Internation- 
al Flows’ Bulb Center, on 
Thursday. 

The tulip, ultimate sym- 
bol of the Netherlands; is 
cultivated in sandy or day- 
like soils concentrated in 
the country’s northwestern 
regions, about 260 kilome- 
ters (100 miles) from the 
flooding ureas in the Gd- 
deriand and Limburg re- 
gions. 

The Netherlands pro- 
duces more than 70 percent 
of the world’s tulip bulbs, 
about 3.1 billion, and the 
perennial bulbs are export- 
ed to 80 countries. 


FLOODS: 

The Waters Fatt

coon try where two-thirds of the 
population lives below sea level 

But the emphasis on a shield 
against the sea meant that less 
money went to reinforce inland 
defenses against flooding from 
the Rhine and its branches in 
tbe Netherlands, the Waal and 
the Meuse. * 

Many of those who were • 
evacuated from tbe flooded ar- 
eas in tbe east complained that 
the environmental lobby, which 
is extremely powerful in the 
Netherlands, had blocked the 
reconstruction of dikes that 
were considered a blight on the 
countryside. 

More than 300 miles of dikes 
in the flood-prone provinces, 
many of them dating bad: to 
the Middle Ages, need rein- 
forcement, according to the 
Dutch Ministry of Transport 
and Waterways. 

Environmental groups, in 
turn, say intensive farming and 
development have ruined natu- 
ral runoff areas and made the 
country more susceptible to riv- 
er flooding. 

Rejecting the arguments of 
the environmental groups. 
Prime Minister Wim Kok an- 
nounced that he would acceler- 
ate the reinforcement of river 
dikes on a scale equal to the sea 
coast project of the 1950s. 

“Objections for budgetary or 
other reasons must no longer ^ 
prevent us from doing the work 
that has to be done," Mr. Kok 
said. 

Even if the Netherlands es- 
capes from the current floods 
with far less damage than the 
$46 billion projected by the Fi- 
nance Ministry in the worst- 
case scenario of a major col- 
lapse of the dikes, it was clear 
that the struggle to avoid future 
disasters is far from over.

Summit Meeting

sure that the territory it rules — 
Gaza and Jericho — “is not 
used as shelter, or a place to 
prepare, incite and execute at- 
tacks," Mr. Rabin told mem- 
bers of his Labor Party before 
he left for Cairo. 

“Their ability to meet it will 
deride more than anything both 
the speed and possibility of pro- 
gress in implementing {he solu- 
tion of the Palestinian-Israeli 
conflict,” he said. . 

The 1993 pact requires the T.' 
Israeli Army to pull back from 
Palestinian towns in the West 
Bank to make way for elections, 
and for the release of Palestin- 
ian prisoners. None of this has 
happened amid the persistent 
violence. 

The Palestinians also thought 
the pact would freeze the ex- 
pansion of Jewish settlements 
on occupied land. But Israel is 
adding thousands of homes to 
the Jewish enclaves. 

Israeli officials, meanwhile, 
said they would consider casing 
the closure to enable Ramadan 
observances (AFP, Reuters, APJ

Boeing 
To Slash 
7,000 
Positions 


By Barry James 

Inrernattcnal Herald Tribune 

Reflecting the ups and downs 
of a highly cyclical industry, 
Boeing Co. announced Thurs- 
day that it would elimina te 
7,000 jobs this year because of a 
cutback in production of its 737 
and 767 models. 

Frank Shrontz, the chairman, 
warned that production rates 
might have to be cut even fur- 
ther because of the poor operat- 
ing results of some U.S. airlines. 

He said the decision to lay off 
workers was taken after meet- 
ings with some of these airlines, 
which asked for aircraft deliver- 
ies to be postponed. 

The layoffs, which come on 
top of 26,000 jobs lost in the 
past two years, will reduce 
Boeing’s tabor force to about 
110,000. Although severe, the 
reduction is far smaller than the 
layoffs of the 1970s. 

But Boeing returned to pros- 
perity with the success of the 
747 jumbo jet, and it is hoping it 
can do so a g ain with its 777 
model, which is scheduled for 
its first delivery tins year. 

Because of the sluggish state 
of the airline market in the 
United States, carriers are keep- 
ing old aircraft in operation, 
reducing demand particularly 
for the narrow-body 737. 

Boeing said it would slow 
production of the 737 plane to 
7J per month from 8.5, 

The layoff announcement 
raffle after Air France, Conti- 
nental Airlines, All Nippon Air- 
' ways and USAir said they were 
canceling or deferring orders. 

Separately, Boeing an- 
nounced it was hiring 800 work- 
ers for work on the NASA 
Space Station. It also said it 
would increase production of 
747 jets from two a month to 
three in the second half of 1996. 

Boeing shares were GL5 cents 
higher at S46-50 in late New 
York trading.

G- 7 Passes Hat for Mexico 

Toronto Session to Iron Out Financing 


By Lawrence Malkin 

International Herald Tribune 

NEW YORK — With some Europeans 
resentful of being dragged into what they 
consider a regional financial problem, the 
Croup of Seven’s finance ministers will gath- 
er Friday night in Toronto for a quick meet- 
ing to seek contributions to the rescue pack- 
age for Mexico. 

They also will start t hinking about bow to 
prevent similar crises from threatening the 
international financial system. The issue is 
heading for the agenda of the scheduled July 
summit meeting of the seven leading industri- 
al nations in Halifax, Nova Scotia. 

The finance officials’ meeting is expected 
to reach a compromise on how central banks 
will fund their $10 billion portion of the 
nearly $50 billion package. Officials are con- 
fident they will succeed, if only because fail- 
ure to do so could restart the Mexico panic in 
financial markets Monday morning. 

This fear could be the most important ne- 
gotiating lever available to Robert Rubin, the 
new U.S. Treasury secretary and former Wall 
Street executive making his initial app earan ce 
at the exclusive dub of top finance officials 
and centra] hankers from the Britain, Cana- 
da, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the 
United States. 

Their meeting is scheduled to begin with a 
dinner Friday and to end about midday Sat- 
urday. 

The U.S. Treasury announced Tuesday it 
would put up $20 billion from its Exchange 
Stabilization Fund, and the International 
Monetary Fund would provide $17.8 billion 


in credits that would be disbursed as Mexico 
imposed an austerity plan at home. 

The IMF board approved its credits 
Wednesday despite objections by some Euro- 
peans that they had not been consulted by 
President BDl Clinton on the relief package. 

Some European financial officials, espe- 
cially in Britain, pointed out that in the au- 
tumn of 1992, the United States offered no 
financial help to Europe’s exchange-rate 
mechanism, regarding it as a regional prob- 
lem. The mechanism fell apart then because 
the Bank of England ran out of money to 
support the pound, just as Mexico had no 
money left in recent days to support the peso. 

But Germany, not Britain, is Europe’s fi- 
nancial powerhouse now, and German offi- 
cials said they were open to discussion on 
financing methods. At Toronto, an official 
said, Germany is likely to seek assurances 
that the rescue package will actually help cure 
Mexico’s fundamental problem of overspend- 
ing, which means they will demand tight IMF 
surveillance. 

The argument is likely to center on how 
much of Mexico’s credit risk Europe and 
Japan will shoulder, and whether their money 
or Washington’s will be disbursed first. 

[Mexico said its foreign reserves had fallen 
to $3.48 billion by the day Mr. Clinton an- 
nounced his emergency plan to save the coun- 
try from financial disaster. The Associated 
Press reported. The figure, announced late 
Wednesday by Mexico’s central bask, was 
down from $6.15 billion at the end of Decem- 
ber and $24 billion in March 1994. Sources 
told the International Herald Tribune last

Britain Raises Lending Rate 


Compiled br Our Staff From Dispatches 

LONDON — The Bank of 
England raised its bank lending 
rate half a point to 6.75 percent 
Thursday, the rate's highest lev- 
el since November 1992. 

The Treasury said the in- 
crease — the third since Sep- 
tember — was an attempt to 
sustain a favorable combina- 
tion of strong UJC economic 
growth and low inflation. 

Elsewhere on Thursday, the 
Hong Kong Monetary Author- 
ity raised its discount window 
rate by 0-5 percentage point, 
and the Bundesbank left Ger- 
many’s official interest rates 


unchanged at 4.5 percent for 
tire discount rate and 6 percent 
for the Lombard rate. 

“The UJC. recovery is one of 
the strongest in Europe, and our 
inflation rate is below the aver- 
age.” said Chancellor of the Ex- 
chequer Kenneth Clarke. “I am 
determined to maintain sustain- 
able growth and low inflation.” 

U.K. bonds and stocks 
showed little reaction to the 
rise, which many in the markets 
had been expecting the Bank of 
England to make soon. The 
pound rose slightly. 

Business executives had a 
mixed reaction, with some call- 


ing the rise unjustified and oth- 
ers saying it would have little 
impact on their operations. 

The Bank of England’s lend- 
ing rate is the minimum rate at 
which commercial banks can 
borrow from the central bank. 
It is usually the m™ as banks’ 
base rales. 

“It’s quite a tough and bold 
move,” said Robert Barrie. 
U.K. economist at BZW Securi- 
ties. “I had expected them to 
wait until next month, but they 
are obviously worried about the 
strength of economic growth.”

Auto Market 
Recovery Helps 
Fiat Turn Profit 


CampiJaJ by Our Staff From Dispatcha 

MILAN — Fiat SpA, Italy’s 
largest industrial company, re- 
turned to profit in 1994 because 
of an improved European car 
market and sharp cost cutting. 
Chairman Giovanni Agnelli 
said Thursday. 

He vowed the company 
would keep a tight lid on costs, 
while investing in its car and 
other operations, which range 
from trucks to machine tools. 

In a letter to shareholders, 
Mr. Agnelli indicated that oper- 
ating profit, or earnings before 
taxes and financing charges, in 
1 994 was about 262 trillion lire 
($1.6 billion). The company re- 
ported an 839 billion lire oper- 
ating loss in 1993, its first since 
the 1970s. 

Full profit figures will be re- 
leased in May, but Mr. Agnelli’s 
annual letter is closely watched 
in Italy for signs on how Fiat, 
an important part of Italy’s 
economy, is doing. 

Rat alone represents about 
3.5 percent of the Italian econo- 
my and employs about 1.0 per- 
cent of its work force. 

Fiat also said its profit before 
tax was 1.75 trillion Hre, com- 
pared with a pretax loss last 
year of 138 trillion. 

Fiat gave no net profit figure. 
But analysts said the results 
pointed to a net profit last year 
of around 1 trillion Hre, which 
would be higher than most in- 
vestors had been expecting. 

Mr. Agnelli said the “satis- 
factory” results for 1994 “must 
be seen as only the first step in a 
process of development that re- 
mains very difficult given the 
high level of competition, which 
we face in every sector we oper- 
ate in.” 

Mr. Agnelli said the compa- 
ny’s revenue rase 20 percent, to 
653 trillion lire, in 1994. He 
said the company invested 4.6 
trillion lire in its factories last 
year and spent 1.9 trillion lire 
on research. 


Giuseppe Bonini, head trader 
at Iniersim, said, “The figures 
are good — better than most 
people were looking for.” 

The success of its new Pun to 
small saloon helped Fiat tighten 
its grip on the Italian market, 
Europe’s second-largest, raising 
its share to around 50 percent of 
all cars sold. 

Fiat also has subsidiaries in- 
volved in aviation, railroad 
equipment, chemicals, civil en- 
gineering, financial services, in- 
surance and pu blishing.

Wellcome Rushes 
Out Income Data 
To Thwart Glaxo 

Nine York Times Service 

LONDON — Wellcome 
PLC reported higher earnings 
for 1994 on Thursday and 
sought to use the results as evi- 
dence that the $14 billion hos- 
tile takeover bid made last 
month by Glaxo PLC underval- 
ued the drug company. 

Scrambling to escape Glaxo’s 
dutches, Wellcome rushed out 
its unaudited results a 

month ahead of schedule. The 
London-based company said 
pretax profit rose 19 percent, to 
£738 million ($1.16 billion), 
compared with 1993, while sales 
increased 13 percent, to £228 
billion. The results exceeded 
many analysts’ predictions. 

After accounting for higher 
tax rates and one-time charges, 
Wellcome earned £403.6 mil- 
lion pounds, an increase of less 
than 1 percent over 1993. 

Chairman John Robb said the 
results prove Wellcome’s 
strength and prospects. But 
Glaxo said it was not impressed. 
Wdkcme’s shares closed up 6 
pence, at 1,004 pence.

A Tax Loophole That’s About to Close 


By Floyd Norris 

New York Times Service 

N EW YORK — One of Wall 
Street’s better tax dodges 
seems fikely to end soon. But 
it looks tikeUJS. investors can 
still get in on it. 

It now appeara that the U.S. Internal 
Revenue Service will soon issue final 
rules ending the lax benefits of the tactic, 
which uses equity swaps. But those rules 
are not expected to apply to equity swaps 
entered into before they are issued, creat- 
ing a window of opportunity. 

Equity swaps, one of the many deriva- 
tive securities that the inventive min d s of 
Wall Street have created in recent years, 
involve the stock's owner giving up all 
the economic advantages and risks of 
owning that stock. 

In return, the investor gets the income 
from an investment of the same value, 
minus some fees for the bank that puts 
together, the swap. The tax advantage 
comes from the fact that the IRS does 
not regard the swap of a stock as being, 
the same as selling it. 

That can now be of great benefit to an 
investor who has a substantial short- 
term capital gam in a stock but is worried 
that the stock is due for a fall. Tt effec- 
tively enables the investor to dose out 
the position without immediately trig- 
gering a tax liability. 

Thai liability will come only after the 
original purchase is more than a year old 
and therefore qualifies for long-term 
capital-gains treatment. 

Under current law, long-term capital 


gains are taxed at a rate no higher than 
28 percent, while short-term gains — on 
positions held for one year or less — are 
taxed as ordinary income at rates up to 
39.6 percent 

Also under current U3L tax rules, the 
IRS figures that the long-term time clock 
keeps ticking when a swap is entered 


It hasn’t been easy to 
use equity swaps unless 
you’re a big holder; but 
someone with a large gain 
in a stock that now 
looks shaky might want to 
look into the possibility. 


into. In contrast, the general rule is that 
wheat an investor hedges a position, such 
as by purchasing a put option providing 
the right to sell a stock at a particular 
price, that -turns off the dock. 

It has never been dear why equity 
swaps should be treated differently, but 
they have been. 

“This has been a good way to mm a 
short-term capital gain into a long-term 
one,” said Robert Gordon, president of 
21st Securities, a New York brokerage. 

But in 1993 the IRS proposed rules to 
rtiange that. And now U.S. Treasury 


Department officials, speaking on condi- 
tion of anonymity, say new rules will 
soon be issued. They will not say bow 
those rules will differ, if at all, from the 
1993 proposal, but it seems likely that 
the swap provision will survive. 

Here is bow the swaps work now. If an 
investor had purchased, say, stock in 
Digital Equipment Carp, last summer at 
S20 a share, the profit now, with the 
stock at about 535, would be 75 percent. 
If that investor was in the top tax bracket 
and dedded to sell the shares, 39.6 per- 
cent of the profit would be taxed away. 

If, on the other hand, the investor 
delays selling until a year and a day have 
passed, the lower long-term capital g ains 
rate of no more than 28 percent would 
apply. The risk, of course, is that Digi- 
tal's price might fall by then. 

If mat investor is nervous about Digi- 
tal, he could eater into an equity swap 
now, timing the swap to expire after the 
year is up. Then be would pay the lower 
tax rate — and the rate might become 
even less than 28 percent if the Republi- 
cans in control of Congress keep their 
campaign promise to cut capital-gains 
taxes. 

It has not been easy to enter into 
equity swaps without a large amount of 
stock — tins is not for the snmll investor 
— but someone with a big gain in a stock 
that now looks shaky might want to look 
into the possibility. 

Time, though, is of the essence. The 
new rules are expected to change the tax 
treatment of equity swaps entered into 
after the new rules are issued.

Why Car-Sales Numbers Don’t Add Up 

Change in U.S. Automakers’ Reporting Date Sows Confusion 


By James Bennet 

New York Times Service 

DETROIT — One might think it a pret- 
ty straightforward act, toting up car and 
light-truck sales. 

But when many of the world’s automak- 
ers — businesses employing thousands of 
people who no doubt excel at addition — 
tried to tally their January sales this week, 
the remit was chaos that made it impossi- 
ble to know whether the market was bead- 
ed up, down, or sideways. 

The automakers could not even agree on 
how many days their dealers' showrooms 
had been open last mouth. The Subaru 
unit of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. said 
there were 24 sales days; Mitsubishi Mo- 
tors Corp. said 26; Honda Motor Co. 
counted 25; and Fond Motor Co. said it 
would not report its sales until Friday. 

The confusion could not have come at a 
worse time. Investors are already nervous 
because at ambiguous signs that the auto 
market is softening. As vehicle sales data, 
once a reliable economic indicator, disinte- 
grated, analysts were left groping for some 
sign of the maikef s condition and grappling 
with something of an existential crisis. 

“I don't know what to believe," said 
John Casesa, auto analyst with Werthetm, 
Schroder St Co. in New York. “You’re 
probably going to ask me how I'm going to 
analyze (his stuff, and 1 have no idea.” 

The Federal Reserve Board on Wednes- 
day raised U.S. interest rates again, show- 
ing its conviction that the economy was 
growing more quickly than the central 
bank would like- But all one could safely 
infer from January’s vehicle sales was that 
automakers badly need to polish their 
green eyeshades. 


Ford said Wednesday that it had earned 
a record $1.56 billion in the fourth quarter, 
more than twice as much as a year earlier. 
That meant the Big Three U.S. automakers 
had made more money in 1994 — almost 
$14 billion — than ever before. 

But the sales figures for January were 
much less dear, partly because most auto- 
makers had changed from their old prac- 
tice of reporting sales on the third business 
day of the month to reporting on the first 
business day, explaining that computer- 
ized systems allowed them to report the 
data more quickly. 

Those that did not make the change, 
however, say sales reports from dealers can 
take several days to crane in. That means 
the automakers probably failed to count 
some sales from the last days of January. 

But no one knows just how big this un- 
dercounting might have been. Both General 
Motors Crap, and Chrysler Corp. switched 
to the new system, and both said that sales 
had fallen during the month, but it was not 
dear bow much of the fall was genuine and 
how much was a statistical quirk. 

Rather unhelpfully. Ford, which did not 
change its reporting date, predicted that 
when it releases its numbers Friday, they 
will show that sales rose in January. Nissan 
Motor Co. was the other major au tomaker 
to hold out against the new reporting date. 

Meanwhile, Toyota Motor Corp. said its 
January sates rose strongly. Bur perhaps 
the company did even better than it thinks. 

“There’s too much noise in these num- 
bers, audit would do more harm than good 
to try to draw any conclusions from them,” 
add Harvey Hednbach, auto analyst for 
Merrill Lynch in New York. He said he 
would prefer to ignore them but added, “I 


realize the market's not going to let us.” 

The reason the stock market is so insis- 
tent is that investors are desperate for a 
dear sense of what is happening in auto 
showrooms. Automakers have been in- 
creasing rebates and cutting production, 
which would seem to be signs of softening 
d em and, but there is a shortage of reliable 
hard evidence right now. 

The reporting change is likely to distort 
January sales reports most cgregiously. 
But for the rest of tins year, the numbers 
will stifl not be truly comparable to the 
previous year’s. 

Faced with this confusion, analysts 
sought guidance from dealers. The trouble 
was that they offered no consensus. Sales 
“weren’t as good as last January and not as 
good as they should be,” said Linda 
Schwarz, new-car sales manager at Integri- 
ty Chevrolet-Geo in Parma Heights, Ohio. 
She blamed rising interest rales for the 
slowdown. 

Other dealers said the rates were not 

the market was nom^fi^ the winter. 
“We’re about 5 percent up over last Janu- 
ary,” said Manly Eubank, president of Pal- 
metto Ford in Charleston, South Carolina. 
“January and February are typically slow.” 

Caveats aside, GM said Wednesday that 
its vehicle sales in January fell 5.5 percent, 
to 329,515. While cars feD 11.6 percent, 
GM said, cracks gained 4.0 percent At 
Chrysler, vehicle sales slipped 6 percent, to 
148,638, with Kght trucks dropping by 9 
percent while cars fell by 1 percent 

Honda’s sales slipped 5.6 percent, to 
46,442. But Toyota said its sales soared by 
18~5 percent, to 79,717. Mazda said its 
sales plunged 23.8 percent, to 18,860.

International Herald Tribwte 

LONDON —On Friday morning in cen- 
tral L o n do n, various British officials will be 
on hand while one of them gingerly places a 
white handkerchief over the exhaust pipe of 
a 13-year-old Leyland Titan bus. If all goes 
well, the official's hanky will raoerge from 
the experience unblemished. 

Thus will begin the efforts of Johnson 
Matthey PLC, the world’s hugest manufac- 
turer of catalytic converters fra automq- 
bfles, to convince skeptics that even notori- 
ously smoky diesel engines can run dean. 

After months of on-ihe-road tests in 
Britain and Sweden, Johnson Matthey is 
launching what it bills as its “continuously 
regenerating trap.” Fitted in the exhaust 
systems of diesel trucks and buses in place 
of a conventional muffler, the device is 
said to be able to cut emissions of particu- 
late matter by 92 percent. 

To date, the concern over motor-vehicle 
exhaust has centered on such gases as 
carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hy- 
drocarbons, the pollutants that conven- 
tional catalytic converters are designed to 
reduce. 


The Johnson Matthey system combines 
tha t kind of converter with a second cham- 
ber in which particulate matter is burned 
off as well, with the help of a new technol- 
ogy that makes it possible to burn the 
particles at relatively low temperatures, 
avoiding the need for an expensive heating 
of the exhaust. 

Even company executives concede, how- 
ever. though that actually selling the device 
will not be easy. 

“We would like government to encour- 
age its widespread use,” said Rob Searles, 
marketing director for Johnson Matthey's 
catalytic systems division. 

With a price tag of nearly £4,000 
($6,300) each and a life span of as little as 
five years, the Johnson Matthey unit will 
need all the help it can get 

What the company is hoping is that 
growing concern over not just exhaust gas 
— the sort of emissions tackled by stan- 
dard catalytic conveners — but also the 
large quantities of particulate matter 
belched out by diesels will galvanize gov- 
ernments into action. 


Various governments, Sweden notable 
ami-wig than, have subsidized the fitting of 
urban buses with pollution-control de- 
vices. In the United States, Johnson 
Matthey is hoping that the Environmental 
Protection Agamy’s tentative plans to re- 
quire such devices on as many as 30,000 
older, dirtier urban buses will help. 

An article in the Jan. 21 edition of the 
British medical journal The Lancet also 
supports the cause, suggesting that truck 
ana bus exhaust, long acknowledged as an 
unpleasant fact of urban life, might be 
something worse than that 

The article links “ultra-fine particles'’ in 
the air with increases in cardiovascular and 
respiratory disease in urban areas and 
adds that “overall daily mortality increases 
as the concentration of small particles in 
the air rises.” 

In urban areas, much of that particulate 
matter enters the air from the back ends of 
tracks and buses. Studies in London have 
indicated that 18,500 tons of particulate 
matter is emitted into the city’s air each 
year, the overwhelming bulk of it from 
diesel-powered trucks and buses.

NEW YORK — U.S. stock 
prices rose Thursday as ad- 
vances by technology shares 
overcame concern that the Fed- 
eral Reserve Board was not fin- 
ished raisin g interest rates. 

The Dow Jones industrial av- 
erage closed 23.21 points high- 
erTat 3,870.77. On the Big 

U.S. Stocks 

Board, advancing issues out- 
weighed declining issues by a 4- 
to-3 ratio on volume of 323 mil- 
lion shares. 

The benchmark 30-year Trea- 
sury bond rose 3/32, to 97 6/32 
to yield 7.74 percent, down from 
7.75 percent on Wednesday. 

Technology issues gained for 
a second day amid optimism 
that rising interest rates had not 
slowed spending by consumers 
and businesses on computers, 
facsimile machines and cellular 
telephones. 

The move by companies to 
upgrade existing computers 
with ones using lmel'stop-of- 
the-line Pentium microproces- 
sor is driving purchases of com- 
puters, analysts said. 

Texas Instruments gained 
1%, to 71ft, LSI Logic Corp. 
jumped 1ft, to 45ft, and Loral 
rose ft, to 40ft. IBM rose ft, to 


74ft, and Apple Computer add- 
ed 1ft, to 41ft. 

"Demand seems to be fairly 
steady,” said Alan Ackerman, 
market strategist at Reich & Co. 
“It helps enhance profits when 
consumer confidence is good.” 

EMC was the most active is- 
sue on the New York Stock Ex- 
change and was up ft, at 17ft, 
recovering from concern over 
the computer maker’s 1 995 sales. 

Auspex Systems rose 1, to 9 ft 
after Morgan Stanley upgraded 
the issues of the company, 
which makes client/server com- 
puter systems. 

Shares of Boeing gained ft, to 
46ft, after the aerospace compa- 
ny said it planned to cut 7,000 
jobs. It has already cut 26,000 
jobs in the past two years. 

“Companies went through 
strong belt-tightening in 1993, 
and thaL paid off in good 1994 
profits" said Louis Todd, a part- 
ner at J.C. Bradford & Co. 

Environmental-control com- 
panies rose after Browning-Fer- 
ns Industries posted better- 
than-expected earnings. 

U.S. retailers posted strong | 
sales gains for January, with 
Sears gainin g ], to 46ft Dayton- 
Hudson adding 2, to 72 l /4, and I 
Wal-Mart jumping ft, to 23ft. 1

Salomon Posts First Loss 
After 13 Years of Profits 

Compiled by Our Staff From Dispatches 

NEW YORK — A charge to correct bookkeeping errors 
forced Salomon Inc. to report a fourth-quarter loss Thursday, 
resulting in the company’s first annual loss since goingpublic 

m The parent company of the securities house Salomon 
Brothers Inc. had a loss of $122 million in the quarter, 
compared with a $476 million profit in the like quarter in 
1993, due to lower market activity and more than 10 years of 
overstating income from London currency trading. 

The bookkeeping charge came to $194 million, more than 
the company had anticipated two months ago. A separate 
pretax charge of $24 million was easily offset by a 5102 
million tax benefit. 

Revenue for the quarter dropped 42 percent, to $1.59 
billion from $2.76 billion. 

For the year, Salomon said it had a loss of $364 million, 
compared with a 1993 profit of $827 million. Revenue fell 28 
percent, $6.34 billion. An Oppenhdmer & Co. analyst, Steven 
Finmatij called the results “pretty grim.” (AP, Reuters)

NEW YORK — The dollar 
was steady in late trading 
Thursday ahead of the release 
Friday of a U.S. employment 
report. 

The monthly jobs report from 
the Labor Department is consid- 

Forofgn Exchange 

ered one of the best gauges of the 
economy’s strength. 

A strong employment report 
“should benefit die dollar by 
instigating another rate hike,'’ 
said Tom Hoge. a trader for 
Bank of New York. Interest 
rate rises often help the dollar 
because they increase the re- 
turns on U.S. deposits. 

The dollar slipped to 1.5180 
Deutsche marks from 1.5183 
DM. It rose to 99.425 yen from 
99.200. 

The Federal Reserve Board 
raised short-term interest rates 
Wednesday by half a percent- 
age poinL Major UJS. commer- 
cial banks followed by raising 


their prime lending rate to 9 
percent from 8.5 percent. 

Against other currencies, the 
dollar rose to 1 2848 Swiss francs 
from 1.2846 at the close 
Wednesday. It edged lower to 
5.2610 French francs from 
52650. The pound slipped to 
$1.5825 from $1.5828. 

There was some anxiety in the 
market about how Mexico will 
emerge from its financial crisis. 
Win Thin, an analyst at Lhe re- 
search firm IDEA, said: “If 
Mexico doesn't do something in 
the next couple of weeks were 
going to see some more selling 
pressure,” on the dollar. 

The peso weakened Thursday. 
The dollar bought 5.4550 pesos, 
compared with 5.3750 on 
Wednesday. 

Hillel Waxmaa, manager of 
currency trading for Bank 
Leumi Trust, said: The employ- 
ment report “is key for the dol- 
lar,” because the Fed left the 
door open for another increase,

PESO; Officials to Discuss Mexico’s Bailout 


Coadnued from Page 9 
weekend that the figure might 
be as low as $2 billion.] 

Paul F. Horvitz of the Interna- 
tional Herald Tribune reported 
from Washington: 

The U.S. Treasury’s point 
man on the Mexico crisis said 
Mexico was solvent but would 
have to determine its own fu- 
ture by undertaking serious 
economic reforms. 

Lawrence H. Summers, un- 
dersecretary of the Treasury for 


international affairs, said he 
had no doubi that the Mexican 
liquidity crisis will fade quickly 
if Mexico could attract longer- 
term investment, pursue disci- 
plined economic policies, fur- 
ther ease government 
restrictions and make the oper- 
ations of its economy more 
open to public view. 

“Fundamentally, Mexico is a 
solvent country," Mr. Summers 
said in a speech to the U.S. 
Chamber erf Commerce, two 


days after an international con- 
sortium put up $50 billion in 
credits to hall the collapse of 
the peso and Mexican equities. 

“There is no question that it 
has the capacity to grow and to 
meet its obligations." 

But Mr. Summers cautioned 
that the real test would lie with 
the ability of President Ernesto 
Zedillo Ponce de Leon to fur- 
ther liberalize the Mexican 
economy.

ularly strong.

PROVIDENCE Rhode Island (Combined Dispatches) —Tex- 
tron Inc. posted a 10 percent jump in fourth-quarter profit

with $102 miliion last year.

KLM Forecasts 

» 

Further Gains 
As Profit Soars 


Ukraine Enters the Fray 

But Privatization Plan Starts Slowly 


‘ Compiled bf Our Staff Fn*n Dupaxcha 

* AMSTERDAM — KLM 
Jtoyal Dutch Airlines said 

Jn the quarter ended &ec? > 3l 
and forecast a subs tantially im- 
proved result for the current 
.quarter. 

* The carrier said net income in 
itlie third quarter of its finanrjwi 
year jumped to 83 nuLbon gui- 
lders ($49 million), or 89 Dutch 
•cents a share, from 15 million 
^guilders, or 23 cents a share, a 
.year earlier, when it had fewer 
'shares outstanding. It cited in- 
creased traffic ami d an industry 
recovery, as well as more effi- 
cient use of its aircraft. 

* KLM also said it expected a 
considerable improvement in 
earnings for its fourth quarto-, 
which ends in March and is 
normally the airline industry's 
weakest season. 

KLM, which is 38.2 perceol- 
owned by the Dutch govern- 
ment^ had a loss of 156 mffli on 
'guilders in the previous year’s 
fourth quarter. 

Its third-period profit was in 
fine with average forecasts of 
about 80 mOfion guilders. 

KLM said it achieved its 
third-quarter net after paying 
43 million guilders in taxes. 

Economic recovery in Eo- 
'rope and the United States had 
) a favorable impact mi traffic 
‘and income, KLM said, and its 
“continuing effort to bring 
- ■ -down unit costs’* helped. 

Earnings for the first nine 
uroliths rose to 559 mil H on guil- 
ders, or 6.1 guilders a share, 
from 260 minio n guilders, or 
439 guilders a share. 


The upbeat report and fore- 
cast are not expected to per- 
suade many analysts to raise 
their projections for the compa- 
ny, however, although Cees 
Haasnoot, an airline analyst 
with Stroeve Effekteabank. said 
this week’s news that KLM 
would raise its freight rates 
would “positively affect” his as- 
sessment of the airline’ s pros- 
pects for the next r«<^| year. 

K LM sa id pretax profit be- 
fore extraordinary items was 
130 million guilders, compared 
with just 7 million guilders a 
year earlier. Operating profit 
rose to 193 milli on guilders 
from 86 million guilders. 

Traffic volume rose 11 per- 
cent in the third quarter as 

cent This resulted in an increase 
in its load factor, or percentage 
of seats filled with paying pas- 
sengers, of 3 percentage points, 
to 753 percent.

■ Air France Sabena Sale 

Air France has decided “in 
principle” to sell its 37.5 per- 
cent stake in Sabena, and Swis- 
sair is continuing to talk about 
acquiring a large minority stake 
in the Belgian carrier, news 
agencies reported from Zurich. 

An Air France spokesman 
said talks would be hod to de- 
termine the terms of a Sabena 
sale. She declined to elaborate. 

A Swissair spokesman, 
meanwhile, said its talks were 
con tinning mw» th nngh one ele- 
ment of the negotiations, Sa- 
bena’s plans to move its pilots 
to Luxembourg, may have 
failed. ( Bloomberg, AFX) 


By James Rupert 

Washington Pan Sennc* 

KIEV, Ukraine — The pregnant woman 
stands in profile, hands on her belly. She 
gazes from the poster above the legend: “Let’s 
take care of the new generation. Privatiza- 
tion: a step to wen-being.” 

With slick, Western-style ads on posters 
and television, Ukraine began privatizing its 
Soviet-style economy last week, offering 
shares in the first of what officials said would 
be about 8,000 slate-owned firms to be auc- 
tioned off over two years. 

Officials here said the auction would sell to 
Ukraine's citizens about 75 percent of its 
state-run industry, permit significant foreign 
investment and lead to the activation of a 
stock market. 

Western diplomats praised the auction, 
which was partly designed and Largely funded 
by theU.S. Agency fra- International Develop- 
ment and TACIS, the European Union’s agen- 
cy for aid to the former Soviet states. U.S. 
Amharna dcr W ilKam Miller declared it a “con- 
crete step” in transforming Ukraine into a 
democracy and market economy. 

Among the former Communist nations of 
Eastern Europe, Ukraine has been one of the 
slowest to reform its economy. But officials 
here said the sefl-off of state firms would 
rapidly change that, and they said the three- 
year delay in privatization since the collapse 
of the Soviet union had given them a chance 
to learn from maHi- by neighboring 

states. 

The auction's opening just beat Tuesday’s 
deadline agreed an by Ukraine, the World 
Hunt and other financial institutions as a 
condition for continuing to support Ukraine's 
depressed post-Soviet economy. 

Wbzle officials’ hopes are high, the auction 
has begun slowly. The government is now 
offering shares in about 60 state-run compa- 
nies in five provinces — including glass and 
concrete plants, a granite quarry, a Kiev hotel 
and a cheese warehouse — but there has been 
no rush to buy. 

The government’s ad campaign has exhort- 
ed those provinces’ 3 million residents to pick 
n p theprreatfyjirinn ce rffimte — each Ukrai- 


nian citizen is allotted one — necessary to bid 
in the auction. 

But despite the advertising, the program 
“still is quite a mystery to people in the 
villages.” said Alexander Sambrus, a political 
reporter for the Ukrainian business newspa- 
per Delovoye NovostL And in cities and 
towns, he said, “most people are quite indif- 
ferent” because of a broad public perception 
that “most of the best companies in winch to 
invest will have a special, closed status.” 

WeD-educated Ukrainians and local news- 
paper articles have frequently voiced an as- 
sumption that one of Ukraine’s politically 
powerful constituencies — criminals, bureau- 
crats or directors of the state companies — 
wlQ somehow wind up in control of the most 
profitable firms. 

Public doubts also have been spurred by 
the failure of a privatization program last 
year. It was so complicated that few Ukraini- 
ans could successfully buy in, and Parliament 
then suspended it 

Yury Spektorov, a Ukraine specialist with 
the U.S. consulting firm Bain & Co„ conceded 
that Ukrainians were w annin g slowly to the 
auction. Mr. Brin has been working alongside 
Credit Commerdriede France and the Ameri- 
can accounting firm Price Waterhouse to bdp 
organize and promote the auction. 

But Mr. Spektorov expressed confidence 
that, as more firms are put on the block each 
month, enthusiasm will grow. “Until now, 
people have been offered only intangibles,” 
he said. “When they see physical certificates 
that can offer them something free” — and, 
especially, when their own employers are up 
for sale — “people will respond.” 

Ukraine’s prime minis ter, Leonid Kuchma, 
initiated the new privatization program after 
he was elected last summer, about the time 
the earlier privatization plan was collapsing. 
Mr. Kuchma fired the head of the State Prop- 
erty Fund, which was managing privatization, 
and appointed an aggressive pro-market 
economist, Yuri Yekhanuzuv. 

“He has made all the difference,” said John 
Smith of Bain & Co, the U.S. consultancy 
firm, adding that Mi. Yekhanurov often had 
his staff working late and bad made the per- 
sonnel more accessible. 


Reuters

International Herald Tribme 

FRANKFURT— Shares of SAP AG, a Ger- 
man software company, soared Thursday after a 
strong warning s report, a “positive” analysts’ 
meeting and a bullish recommendation from 
Germany's biggest bank. 

SAP’s common shares rose 87 Deutsche marks 
($57) a share, or 73 percent, to close at 1 ,250 DM 
on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Its preferred 
shares rose 8 percent to 1,085. 

Although the value of the company's stock has 
almost tripled in the past year, some analysts said 
it would remain undervalued in comparison with 
its rrumi international competitors even though it 
could gam a further 30 percent to 40 percent. 

“Customers are looking for both common and 
p r ef erred shares,” said Michael Kuhlow, an ad- 
viser to institutional investors at Deutsche Bank 
AG. “The trading volume in both is quite high.” 

Deutsche Bank had been wary of the stock 
before the latest earnings, but SAP executives 
told analysts to expect higher sales in the years 
ahead as the company enters new markets. 

Deutsche Bank also raised the company's 
earnings forecast twice in two days. It now ex- 
pects SAP to earn 41 DM a share this year and 52 
DM a share in 1996, compared with previous 
forecasts of 36 DM in 1995 and 44 DM in 1996. 

Analysts also said SAP's price/ earnings ratio 
of 21 was low by the standards of competing 
high-technology companies such as Oracle Sys- 
tems Corp. in the United States. 

On Tuesday, SAP reported a 92 percent in- 


crease in profit to $1733 million on a sales 
increase of 66 percent to $1.1 billioc. 

Most of the company’s gams were attributed 
to the success of its R/3 client/ server system, 
which has been installed at 2,400 sites worldwide 
in the two-and-a-half years since its introduc- 
tion. Customers indude many of the world’s 
biggest blue-chip companies. 

“The 1994 figures are impressive proof that we 
have considerably improved our leading edge in 
the worldwide market for business application 
software;” Petra Frenzel, managing director of 
SAP UK, said Tuesday. 

“SAP is a model German company,” said 
Charles Weldon, an American high-tech consul- 
tant based near Frankfurt. “In software, only 
Microsoft Corp. and Oracle have more power. 
SAP has broken into the client/server market 
and will significantly shape the software industry 
in the years to come,” he said. 

Analysts said pan of the excitement surround- 
ing SAP shares involved the likelihood of it being 
included in the DAX index of German blue-chip 
stocks, where membership is based on market 
capitalization. 

“If it become a DAX stock, a lot of portfolio 
managers that have kept out of the stock so far 
will have to get into it,” Mr. Kuhlow said.

BRUSSELS — The Euro- 
pean Commission's compe- 
tition chief is demanding 
that France divulge its plans 
for granting new credits to 
the ailing state-controlled 
hank Crfedit Lyonnais, a 
sp okesman said Thursday. 

Commissioner Karel 
Van Miert, who demanded 
Paris's plans, is also await- 
ing a report from three for- 
mer central bankers on how

Antitrust Board 
Puts Australian 
Merger on Hold 


Ambitious in Australia 

Opposed in Bid, OTIC Seeks Growth 


Jinttn 

SYDNEY — A plan to merge 
two Australian oil refiners and 
marketers to create the coun- 
try’s second-largest petroleum 
company was dealt a blow on 
Wednesday when a government 
antitrust agency indicated it 
would block the deal 

Australia’s Trade Practices 
Conumssioa said the proposed 
merger of Ampol Ltd, the pe- 
troleum division of Pioneer In- 
ternational Ltd., with Caltex 
Australia Ltd. was likdy to sub- 
stantially reduce competition in 
the industry. 

Caltex is 75 percent owned 
by Caltex Petroleum Corp. of 
the United States, which itself is 
jointly owned by Chevron 
Corp, and Texaco Overseas 
Holdings Inc. 

The deal, valued at 2 billion 
Australian dollars ($1.52 bil- 
lion) would have created an oil 
giant with 28 percent of the 
Australian retail market, sec- 
ond only to Shell Australia 
Ltd., which has 29 percent. 

The agency said its main con- 
cern was the impact of the 
merger an independent opera- 
tens and on price competition 
among the reduced number of 
oil majors. 

“The merger of the two com- 
panies would reduce the degree 


of independent operation 
among the majors, and be likely 
to result in an increase in petrol 
prices to consumers as well as 
as increase in profit margins of 
the razors, ” the Trade Prac- 
tices Commission said. 

In response, the companies 
said they were considering 
whether to have the matter re- 
ferred to the Federal Court of 
Australia for another ruling. 
“Caltex and Pioneer strongly 
disagree with the commission’ s 
view and have received advice 
from senior counsel and a lead- 
ing industrial economist that the 
proposed merger did not breach 
Section SO of the Trade Practices 
Act,” the companies said. 

The merger, proposed by (he 
companies in December, would 
have reduced competition in 
Australia to four major players. 
Industry estimates place the 
market shares of the other two, 
BP Australia Holdings Ltd. and 
Mobil OH Australia Ltd_ at 
20.7 percent and 203 percent, 
respectively. Independents hold 
the remaining 2 percent of the 
market. 

Even if the companies were 
to receive a favorable ruling 
from the federal court, the deal 
would also require shareholder 
approval and the blessing of the 
Australian government’s For- 
eign Investment Review Board. 


MELBOURNE — CITIC Australia, an 
arm of the state-owned investment concern 
China International Trust & Investment 
Corp., said Thursday it aims to more than 
double its revenue by 2000 through expansion 
in resource industries. 

But the plans could be in jeopardy if 01- 
Tic’s planned hid for control of Portman 
Mining Ltd. is derailed by a rebel shareholder 
who opposes the deal. The bid would be 
CITICs first investment in a listed, Austra- 
lian company. 

Zhang Jijing, CITIC Australia's managing 
director, said the company saw potential for 
Portman t o dive rsify its mining activities. He 
added that CITIC Australia was also interest- 
ed in pursuing investments in forestry and 
seafood. 

“We have a new five-year plan from now 
until the end of the century to build the 
company's revenue to about 1 billion Austra- 
lian dollars ($757 million) ” be said. 

CITIC Australia is one of the fastest-grow- 
ing arms of the $9.9 billion global CITIC 
group, having lifted its revenue to 490 million 
dollars and assets to 350 mil H on dollars since 
its formation in Australia in 1986. Its largest 
investments so far are in al uminum smelting, 
meat exporting and financial and business 
services. 

But CTITC Australia’s most recent corpo- 
rate play is its roost controversial. Its plan to 
biw 52.5 percent of Portman Mining for 37.8 
mfflioa dollars is being vigorously opposed by 
a businessman, Kerry Stokes, who owns an 
83 percent stake in Portman. 

Mr. Stokes, whose interests also include 
media investments, has urged Portman share- 
holders to rqect the deal at a meeting next 
Monday because he believes the price is too 
low and represents a sell-out of Australian 
interests. 

“It causes me some concern because we 


haven’t done this type of thing before in 
Australia,*' Mr. Zhang said, adding that CI- 
TIC would seek to talk to Mr. Stokes about 

the transaction. 

Mr. Z hang said that if the deal were ap- 
proved, CTTIC would use Portman, which 
produces iron ore and manganese, as its main 
vehicle for m i n i n g investments and would 


CITIC Australia’s most 
recent corporate play is also 
its most controversial. 


help the company to develop markets in 
Asia’s fast-growing economies. “Our inten- 
tion is to develop the company as a bi gg er 
company,” he said. 

Mr. Zhang also said that CITIC wanted 
Portman to proceed with the 70 million dollar 
development of its Burton coking coal project 
in Queensland. He added that Portman’s 
minerals portfolio was present ly ge ared to- 
wards steel production but that CITIC would 
be pleased if Portman diversified into other 
minerals, including copper. 

Mr. Zhang said OTIC Australia was also 
interested is timber, after considering such 
investments in New Zealand and Papua New 
Guinea in recent years, and in adding to its 
investments in seafood for export to Asia. 

CTTIC Australia has chosen to focus on 
mining and other primary-resource industries 
because Australia has had expertise and a 
comparative market advantage m these areas, 
he said, adding that demand for these prod- 
ucts was strong in growing Asian economies. 

Mr. Zhang also said that CITIC Australia 
had suspended the idea of seeking a listing on 
the Australian Stock Exchange, “we think it’s 
a little premature,’’ he said. 


TJuukmdSigns 
Cos Agreement 
With Burma 

Roam 

BANGKOK —The Thai 
stole petroleum authority on 
Thursday signed an agree- 
ment to imirort Joainral gas 
from Burma via aTripehne 
that Burmese rebel groups 
have threatened to destroy. 

- Undex thc 30-year pact, 
the Petroleum Authority of 
Thailand, will buy natural 
gas .from Burma’s offshore 
Yadana Held starting in 
1998. . 

The pnject,\*t a total 
cost of $1 tnUioai to 313' 
billion. Includes sending 
gas via a 400-kilometcr 
(250 miles) pipeline from 
the Gulf of Martaban over- 
land to the Thai border, 
through territory where 
ethnic Mon and Karen 
guerrillas operate. 

“This is the start of more 
cooperation between the 
two countries,” Prime Min- 
ister Chuan Leekpai of 
Thailand said. "The excel- 
lent atmosphere is condu- 
cive to further agreements 
between the two countries.” 

But Karen and Mon 
guerrillas, fighting for 
greater autonomy, oppose 
the gas project as providing 
revenue for Rangoon’s mil- ■ 
itary rulers. 


Beijing Shows No Urgency Over U.S. Trade Deadline 


Agmee Dmce-Prote 

BEIJING — With the US. deadline 
for China to reach an agreement on pro- 
tecting intellectual property rights only 
two days away, there was little sign here 
Thursday of any anxiety about a trade 
war that could cost both countries dearly. 
. After nine days of intense negotia- 
tions^ Beijing, American and Chin ese 
officials broke off talks Saturday with- 
out an agreement, and an invitation by 
Trade Representative Mickey Kan tor of 
the Untied States to resume talks in 
Washington has gone unanswered. 

The Chinese New Year holiday has 
taken np most of this week,' and many 
government and business activities will 
' remain suspended until Sunday, the day 
after the (J.S. deadline. Even the For- 


eign Ministry has closed its doors, leav- 
ing not so much as a person on ditty to 
answer the phone. 

“Several options are still available: 
either an announcement of a restart in 
negotiations just before the fateful date, 
or an extension of the deadline,” an 
American official in Beijing said. “But 
no one seems real worried.'^ 

The United States says American 
companies are lasing $1 billion a year 
because of copyright violations in Chi- 
na. It cites as examples compact disks 
and computer software that are widely 
pirated in China without any govern- 
ment sanctions or penalties. 

Washington ha* been demanding for 
several months the dosing of 29 fac- 
tories in southern China suspected of 


producing 80 million counterfeit CDs a 
year, 95 percent of which are exported. 

In the absence of action by Beijing, 
Washington has said it would begin Sat- 
urday to impose sanctions on Chinese 
inports designed to equal in financial 
impact the losses it says UJ3. companies 
have suffered from Chinese piracy. 

Chinese officials, who rite laws and 
regulations they have laid down to pre- 
vent copyright infringement, have 
warned that a trade war would cost U-S. 
companies in China dearly. 

Beging named Chrysler Corp., Ford 
Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. as 
possible targets, as well as alcohol, ciga- 
rettes and videocassettes imported from 
the United States. 

Beging blames Washington for the 


failed negotiations, charging that it 
made new demands when an agreement 
appeared near. 

Mr. Kan tor acknowledges that a “pre- 
hmmary accord” was reached in some 
areas but says it was “insufficient to 
satisfy our demands.” He has said that a 
few days after Saturday’s deadline, U.S. 
officials would publish a list of Chinese 
imports to be taxed. 

In December, after the failure of a 
first round of negotiations on intellectu- 
al property rights, Washington present- 
ed a preliminary list of 23 categories of 
Chinese products that would face sanc- 
tions — including shoes, toys and elec- 
tronics — with an estimated value of 

$ 2.8 bafian. 


Dispute Leaves Taiwan Exposed to the Crossfire 


Roam 

TAIPEI — If the United States and 
China decide to wage a trade war across 
the Pacific, Taiwan win be caught in the 
crossfire, and officials and analysts say 
its economy could be left badly bruised. 
-Not only would factories in China 
that Taiwan has built or invested in be 
hammered by U.S. tariffs; but the cher- 
ished hopes of this island to enter the 
World Trade Organization could also be 
dimmed, they said. 

Trade hostilities between the United 
States and China threaten to erupt Sat- 
urday, the deadline Washington has giv- 
en Beging for agreement on protecting 
intellectual property rights. 


“There is no doubt chat if the United 
States retaliates. Taiwanese investors 
will suffer great losses,” said a report 
last week by the Economic Ministry’s 
Board of Foreign Trade. 

Trade Representative Mickey Kantor 
of the United States has told Beging it 
must come up with an acceptable plan to 
solve problems of intellectual-property 
piracy by Saturday or face 100 percent 
tariffs on SI billion of its exports. 

China has said it does not want a 
trade war, but if the United States takes 
punitive measures, it would retaliate. 

The areas of China likely to be hard- 
est hit by the tariffs are the southern and 
eastern provinces where Taiwan busi- 


nessmen have spent most of the $10 
bQfion to $20 billion they have invested 
in China. 

Major companies, such as Nanya 
Plastics Corp-, President Enterprises 
Corp., WaJan Lihwa Electric Wire & 
Cable Corp., Kwang Yang Motor Co. 
have operations there. Many export to 
the United States, which is Taiwan’s 
biggest trade partner. 

Beyond the short-term effect of losses 
in earnings for Taiwanese companies, a 
trade war may shake longer-term confi- 
dence in a market upon which Taiwan 
has been growing increasingly reliant. 

“Investments in China are vital to our 
hopes of becoming an Asia-Pacific opera-

Fujitsu Pins 
Hopes On 
'Low-Price’ 
Mainframe 


The Associated Press 

TOKYO — Fujitsu LidL, the 
Japanese computer maker, said 
Thursday it hopes to sell 
around 300 of its new super- 
computers by the end of 1998. 

But analysts emphasized 
Fujitsu’s new models, due to fait 
(he market in December, reflect- 
ed efforts by Japanese manufac- 
turers to make the huge ma- 
chines affordable. 

Japanese supercomputer 
makers have focused in the past 
on performance, but have found 
a limited market far machines 
costing millions of dollars. 

List prices for Fujitsu’s new 
VX and VPP300 series begin at 
52 million yen ($520,000) for a 

1 .6-gigaflop model. 

A gigaflop, a benchmark of 
computing power, is the number 
of operations the machine per- 
forms in one second. The com- 
puters use complimentary metal- 
oxide semiconductors, which 
require less energy than other 
chms, to reduce their cost. 

Fujitsu said a key to the prod- 
uct’s success will be software 
availability. The company has a 
California facility dedicated to 
developing programs. 

Fujitsu hopes its high-perfor- 
mance computing group, which 
includes supercomputers, will 
turn a profit within five years, 
and it said development of the 
machines has spillover benefits 
for less-sophisticated products.

Qmpjledby Our Staff From DapaSrher 

NEW DELHI — Singa- 
pore Telecommunications 
Ltd. said Thursday that it 
has entered a joint venture 
with two Indian companies 
to bid to provide basic and 
cellular telephone services. 

An agreement to form the 
venture with HCL Corp., an 
information-technology and 
software company, and 
Ashok Ley land Ltd., one of 
India’s oldest truckmakers, 
was signed Monday. 

Ashkok Ley land is the 
flagship company of tire Hin- 
duja group, which is active on 
five continents and does 
business in interna tional 
trade and finan ce, invest- 
ment banking, asset manage- 
ment and manufacturing. 

HCL has signed strategic- 
alliance agreements with 
Hewli tt- Packard Co. 

“The consortium could 
well be a trend- setter in 
South-South cooperation in 


the private sector and points 
to the exciting possibilities 
in pan-Asian cooperation in 
areas so far dominated by 
Western giants,” Singapore 
Telecom said. 

Singapore Telecom has 
joint-venture operations and 
investments in over a dozen 
countries including Britain, 
Cambodia. Hong Kong, In- 
donesia, Norway, the Unit- 
ed States and Vietnam. 

U S West International, a 
subsidiary of U S West Inc. 
won a license to set up In- 
dia's first private telephone 
network on Jan. 15, a day- 
before the government 
opened lenders for both ba- 
sic phone networks and cel- 
lular services. 

India's telephone-services 
market, until recently domi- 
nated by Lbe public sector, is 
estimated to be worth about 
400 billion rupees ($12.7 bil- 
lion) a year.

SPORTS 


25 Years After 4 Ball Four / Baseball’s Leper Is Still Talking 


By Philip Crawford 

International Herald Tribune 

GREAT BARRINGTON, Massachu- 
setts — It is a frigid, winter-in-the-Berk- 
shires night outside, but it is warm and 
cozy inside the Castle Street Cafe where, 
ami d the pubby crush at the bar, there s a 
group of people clustered around one man. 

He looks very familiar, at least to sports 
fans of a certain generation, but it’s diffi- 
cult to put your finger on who he is. Then 
you hear him say a couple of words — 
•‘strike zone” — and suddenly it hits you. 

It's Benedict Arnold. The Disgrace to 
the Game. Or, most memorably. The So- 
cial Leper. 

Jim Bouton earned these sobriquets 25 
years ago with the publication of one of the 
best-setting sports books ever written. “Ball 
Four” a diary of Bouton's 1969 season as a 
pitcher for the Seattle Pilots, who later be- 
came the Milwaukee Brewers, titillated 
readers with tales of what really went on in 
major-league locker rooms and bullpens. 


Bouton's status as a former star — he 
had won 39 games for the New York 
Yankees over the 1963 and 1964 seasons, 
plus two in the *64 World Series — helped 
plug the book initially, but sales took off 
like a screaming line drive after Bowie 
Kuhn, then baseball’s commissioner, pub- 
licly castigated Bouton for doing a “grave 
disservice" to the game. 

The crime, of course, was revealing ball 
players as they really were, rather than as 
faultless heros worthy of blind worship. 

Still unfazed by the vitriol that “Ball 


Four" wrought among baseball's estab- 
lishment (including many players), full of 
typically nonshy opinions on the current 
baseball strike and flush from the recent 
publication of his first novel, Bouton, now 
m his mid-50s, appears to have taken to 
Life After Baseball with rare verve. 


helping to build a new home not far from 
here, where he lives with his wife, Paula, a 
psychologist. 

The furor over "Ball Four" resounds to 
this day because, of the now hundreds of 
ghostwritten books that bear a famous ath- 
lete's byline, few have been as frank, poi- 
gnant or entertaining. The reason is that few 

other athletes have been willing to risk bring 
ostracized to the extent that Bouton was. 

“I can see how guys felt their privacy 
was invaded by ‘Bah Four,' ” Bouton says, 
reflecting on 25 years of notoriety. "And I 


that he really considered friends as a result 
of the book. And he’s still a player’s player 
as far as baseball owners and the current 
strike are concerned.

most humiliating defeat of their lives.

they want to put caps on other people. Pm 
embarrassed and ashamed for them. They 
don’t want to live with the free-enterprise 
system when it applies to themselves.” 


despite being glutted with more than its 
share of cliches and contrived jock-speak. 

What helps it, however, is the same thing 
that made "Bail Four” the book that it 
was, and still is: Bouton's willingness to 
bare the little-kid ride of the male profes- 
sional athlete’s souL He's still able to talk 
about what a huge ego trip it is, or was, to 
be a big-leaguer, and his confessed fanta- 
sies in which he is always the adored star

Is Bouton bitter at today’s player sala- 
ries, haying been paid SUK5Q0 for the 1963 
season in which ne went 21-7? 

"Not at all,” he says. ‘Tin glad to see 
players getting their fair share of the mon- 
ey that baseball brings in.” 

His new book, “Strike Zone,” cowritten 
with Eliot Arinof, is the story of an aging 
knuckieballer (sound familiar?) who gets 
one last chance to start a big game. What 
he doesn't know is that the home plate

Indeed, it’s Bouton's humanness thai

or in an overly embarrassing way, which f 
don't think it was.

Indeed, it’s Bouton's humanness that 
has made “Ball Four,” in the words of the 
writer David Halberstam, “a book deep in 
the American vein, so deep that it is by no 
means a sports book.” 

Bouton still even leafs through “Ball 
Four” himself these days. “And I almost 
always laugh out loud. Not because Fm

Stockton Breaks Assist Mark 

Master of the Pass Is Relieved to Pass Magic 


| *! 


By Mark Heisler 

Lot Angeles Times Service 

SALT LAKE CITY — The 
pass to the Mailman on the 
baseline, the shot, the record, 
die moment! 

The cheers, the minicams, the 
ceremonies, the interviews . . . 

Oh, noooooo! 

Had John Stockton known it 
was going to be so much trou- 
ble, he'd never have gotten this 
good. A man like Stockton, who 
does his own plumbing, isn't 
anxious to tell reporters about 
his leisure activities. A man like 
Stockton, who sneaks out side 
docurs to avoid signing auto- 
graphs on the way to the bus, 
certainly wouldn’t do anything 
as stupid as breaking Magic 
Johnson's assist record in the 
National Basketball Associa- 
tion. 

But that was what Stockton 
did with Wednesday night's 
1 1 tb assist — a routine pass to 
Kail Malone posting up for a 


fadeaway 15-footer — as the 
Utah Jazz buried the Denver 
Nuggets, 129-88. 

Stockton had 12 assists by 
halftime, played only seven 
minutes after that and f inish ed 
the nigjht with 16, giving him 
9,927 and, at long last, a little 
peace and quiet. 

"It feels great to have it over 
with,” he said at the postgame 
news conference, smiling pub- 


NB A HIGHLIGHTS 


Jidy for one of the few times 
this week. "I think when this 
meeting is over with, itH be 
even greater.” 

As stars go, Stockton is an 
enigma — strong-willed, per- 
sonable, but uncomfortable in 
the public eye. As a player, he is 
a marvel of efficiency. 

There have been only right 
1, 000-assist seasons in NBA 
history; Stockton has six. Isiah 


Thomas and Kevin Porter had 
the others. 

Stockton started Wednesday 
night's game needing 10 to tie 
Johnson at 9,921. He had been 
knocking off big numbers for a 
week — IS in Seattle, 14 against 
New Jersey, 14 against Minne- 
sota — intent on ending the 
twin chase: Stockton pursuing 
Johnson, the media pursuing 
Stockton. 

Wednesday, he got it over 
with. 

Stockton had five assists be- 
fore he took his first shot, a 17- 
footer, which he made. 

No. 10, tying Johnson, was to 
Tom Cham bers for an 18-foot 
jumper. 

Moments later, Stockton 




NFL Says It Will Discuss 
Changes in Playoff Format 


CanpHed by Our Staff From Dispatches 

WASHINGTON — In the wake of the American Football 
Conference team's fourth straight Super Bowl rout by the 
National Football Conference team, the National Football 
League will soon begin discussing the feasibility of changing 
the playoff format, league sources said 

“It’s clear that we can’t continue with sustained blowouts in 
our biggest game of the year,” an NFL executive said Wednes- 
day. But be emphasized that any change would involve a long 
process and almost certainly would not be presented to dub 
owners for a vote at their winter meeting next month. 

In San Diego, Bin Amsbarger, one of the NFL’s top 
defense strategists, said he was retiring after 23 seasons. 

“There’s a lime for everything. I felt like this was the time 
for me to step down,” be said, adding that his Chargers’ 49-26 
loss to the San Francisco 49ers had not affected his decision. 

The Chargers’ quarterback, Stan Humphries, faced surgery 
after redislocating his left elbow, while hitting golf balls on a 
driving range. He was to play in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro- 
Am that began Thursday. (WP, AP) 


ed up. Malone sank the 15-foot- 
er that put his Httle buddy in the 
books by himself. 

‘To glad it’s over for Stock,” 
Malone said. “When he’s or- 
nery, it kind of rifts down 
through the team because he’s 
our captain.” 

That’s how John Stockton 
left Magic Johnson in his rear- 
view mirror, in. one comer of 
the record books, anyway. 
Whatever it means, Stockton’s 
total is going higher. 

“With his body and the way 
he plays,” Johnson said a few 
days ago, “he’s going to play for 
a long time. Nobody wul break 
his records.” 

It’s all downhill now. For 
Stockton, the first 9,922 were 
the hardest

^TtS? heacTof the players association, 
Donald Fehr, said union officials and 
players planned to spend Thursday re- 
viewing the proposal. A full reply may not 
come until Friday. . , 

“There was a recognition by both sides 
that there was significant pressure bong 
applied now, and if we don’t get something 
done, there will be more,” Fehr said. 

Management officials contended the 
proposal was a significant breakthrough 
because it no longer guarantees the owners

throughout the long and bitter negotia-

throughout the long and bitter negotia- 
tions. The owners' previous taxation pro- 
posals — like the salary cap system they 
put into effect Dec. 23 — sought to limit 
the player compensation to 50 percent of 
designated industry revenues. 

But, privately, some of those on the 
players' ride said the proposal left them as 
pessimistic as ever that a deal could be 
struck Boon. 

The owner’s new taxation proposal 
would be phased in over four years. After 
the four years, teams would be assessed a 
75 percent tax on all money devoted to

LAS VEGAS — Gamblers 
wanting to bet on NBA and 
NHL games will soon have to 
do so some place other than 
Caesars Palace and two other 
casinos operated by ITT Corp. 

ITT said Wednesday it will 
stop taking bets on games in- 
volving the New York Rangers 
of the NHL and New York 
Knicks of the NBA when its 
deal to buy the two teams and 
Madison Square Garden goes 
through, probably by next 
week.

In their proposal, which calls for a sev- 
en-year agreement, the owners also estab- 
lished new minimum salaries and included 
the joint “industry growth fund” that first 
was proposed by the players. 

The owners said they had eliminated 
some of the noneconomic proposals that 


ers had objected to in previous plans. 
For example, teams no longer would be 
permitted to release players for any reason 
at any time during trie season. 

Also during the day, the National Labor 
Relations Board said it would rule within 
two weeks on the unfair labor practice 
charges filed by both rides. 

On Wednesday night, players and union 
officials gave a reception at Washington's 
train station attended by about 70 members 
of Congress. The union still is lobbying to 
have the owners' 73-year-dd exemption from 
federal antitrust laws repealed or limited. 

The union and its consultants bought 
600 baseballs for the 50-some big name 
players to sign for the politicians, their 
families aod their staffs during the party. 

“Usually, when you attend a function 
like this in Washington, you’re the person 
getting all of the attention,” Senator John 
S. McCain 3d of Arizona said. “But to- 
night, no one’s even noticing us.”

NHL and HHF Set the Stage for a ‘Super League’ of Hockey in Europe 


By Ian Thomsen 

International Herald! Tribune 

LONDON The National Hockey 
I safina is planning to sponsor a European 
waning as eariy as September 
t996, which could lead to the first exclu- 
sive “super league” on the Continent. 

Negotiations between the NHL and the 
International Ice Hockey Federation 
(UHF) were resuscitated Tuesday and 
Wednesday in Naples, Florida, For the first 
time since the NHL shut down last fall 
The least ambitious plan would mimic the 
European Cup competitions waged by soc- 
cer, basketball and other sports, with 
teams remaining in their domestic leagues. 

A grander scheme is also under consid- 
eration, It would pluck the best teams from 
the domestic leagues and elevate them to 
one pan-Etuopean sups' league. 

The vague announcement of such possi- 
bilities by the NHL and UHF Wednesday 
night came in response to plans revealed 
earlier this week by the International 


Hockey League (IHL). a minor North 
American league of 17 clubs, to create a 
European division of seven teams in 1996- 
97. Six of the IHL members will be existing 
clubs in Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, 
Sweden and Switzerland; a seventh team 
anil be created in Britain. 

The IHL’s European and North Ameri- 
can divisions will compete head to head 
throughout the season. Strict wage policies 
have held the average player's salary in the 
IHL to 562,000, and half its tickets are 
priced at $10 or less. A similar scenario is 
anticipated for its European division. 

The IHL has averaged about 8,000 spec- 
tators per game during the lockout of NHL 
players this season. It is seeking to mine 
Europe while the NHL is still reeling from 
labor troubles, and it is doing so without 
die cooperation of. and in direct competi- 
tion with, the international federation. 

“The NHL would like to create a subsid- 
iary league in Europe,” said David Huxley, 
a spokesman for the potential British IHL 


franchise. “We don’t think their league will 
create as much interest as our teams going 
into the U.S.” 

In response to this threat, countries who 
are members of the international federa- 
tion may be forced to sacrifice their best 
teams for a new European league. 

“We don’t start such a league without 
the cooperation of our member associa- 
tions,” Jan-Ake Edvinsson, secretary gen- 
eral of the Swiss- based international feder- 
ation, said in a telephone interview from 
Florida. “But you are also aware of ideas 
coining from different organizations, of 
different American groups coming to Eu- 
rope with their ideas of different leagues. It 
is better if it is under our control.” 

In other words: If a new league is com- 
ing to Europe, them the HHF wants a hand 
in running iL With the help of the NHL, 
the federation hopes to maintain authority 
against renegades. 

“I don’t think they’ll have a good chance 
to compete with us in the long term.” 


Edvinsson said of the IHL’s European 
division. “Perhaps they can start some- 
thing in the short term, but without our 
cooperation I don’t feel there is the poten- 
tial for them to survive.” 

Other sports have had such big ideas. 
The international basketball federation, 
F1BA, has longed to form an exclusive 
European league from its heavyweight 
clubs in Italy, Greece; Spain, France, Ger- 
many and the countries that were once 
Yugoslavia. But some national federations 
feared that their own leagues would be 
diminished, and FTBA had to settle for an 
expanded cup competition simitar to soc- 
cers European Champions’ League. 

Furthermore, the prime directive of the 
National Basketball Association is its 
promise to not expand overseas, believing 
n would divert attention from the grass- 
roots basketball movement in Europe. 

European hockey isn't nearly as self- 
reliant as basketball The NBA rarely 
bothers to acquire a player from Europe; 


but the NHL considers Europe a training 
ground. It presently bas more than 100 
current players stripped from the Conti- 
nent, which has empowered the league to 
expand in North America and forced the 
NHL and HHF to become partners in 
regulating such transfers. 

Hockey leagues of fulltime professional 
players are limited to Germany, Switzer- 
land, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia 
and the Scandinavian countries; competi- 
tion in France, Italy, Austria and Britain is 
not fuDy professional, according to Ed- 
vinsson. 

The argument for an exclusive European 
league is that popularity generated by the 
big-market clubs would create more inter- 
est in hockey, leading to greater support 
for the smaller, local dubs. In other Euro- 
pean sports, however, the smaller dubs 
have yet to agree to such terms. 

“What’s important is that these leagues 
wOl not be destroyed,” said Edvinsson, 
who said he thought terms of the European 
league wiB be announced at the HHF coit- 


al Stock holm in May. “You could 
ive a kind of European cup competition, 
you could have a kind of league; but it’s 
too eariy to say anything. What the plans 
are gang to be, we need to discuss.” 

The HHF has also moved closer to in- 
volving NHL stars in the Winter Olympics 
starting in 1998 and, starting in 1997, to 
possibly creating an international tourna- 
ment replacing the quadrennial C an a da 
Cup. 

The NHL commissioner, Gary Bettman, 
who ran the Florida meetings this week, is 
following the model created by his former 
boss at the NBA Co mmissio ner David 
Stem, who made basketball popular the 
world over and then collected the receipts. 
If Bettman is successful, Europe will be- 
come a consumer market for NHL prod- 
ucts and television programming. 

And if be can install the European “Su- 
per League” rejected by basketball, then in 
some ways he might gain the initiative over 
bis old boss.

From Marseillaise to Waterloo 

Noah’s Davis Cup Crew Faces Daunting Task 


By Christopher Clarey 

Special to the Herald Tribune 

PARIS — Unlike the Ameri- 
cans, the Freach do not make a 
habit of rin ging their national 
anthem at sporting events. But 
there was nothing habitual 
about that Sunday afternoon in 
Lyon in December 1991 when 
the French stunned the heavily 
favored Americans to win their 
first Davis Cup in 59 years. 

No sooner had Guy Forget 
hit the winning forehand then 
he dropped to the ground, cov- 
ered his face with both bands 
«nH lay on his back: trembling, 
weeping, disbelieving. While die 
team’s ca ptain, Y anni ck Noah, 
and his merry band of sparring 
partners and coaches tumbled 
over Forget like a wave on a 
Biarritz beach, Henri Leconte, 
whose brilliant play had put the 
French in position to win.

emerged from the locker room, 
staggered onto the court, fell to 
his knees and begpn to cry. 

What followed were victory 
laps, a conga line led by Noah, 
and then, out of the heavy and 
hazy air in the s tadium, tame 
the sound of 8,000 voices proud- 
ly ring in g La Marseillaise with- 
out musical accompaniment 

Rarely has a more stirring 
celebration been seen. It was 
moving because it was thor- 
oughly unscripted, thoroughly 
heartfelt and thoroughly devoid 
of self-interest And the person 
deady most responsible for cre- 
ating that transcendent climate 
of amity was Noah, the 1983 
French Open champion and 
rookie captain who had not 

played a angle point but who, by 
careful planning and sh«er force 
of personality. Had succeeded in 
tuning Forget and Leconte to a 
perfect emotional pitch. 

“I think Yannick helped me a 
lot,” said the mild-mannered 
and often overly analytical For- 
get. “He gave me this taste for 
risking things.” 

Less than four months later, 
Noah took a risk of his own and 
chose not to play Forget or Le- 
conte in singles against Switzer- 
land in the second round of the 
1992 Cup. The French lost, and 
Noah tendered his resignation, 
complaining quite publicly of 
meddling from the French Fed- 
eration and creeping individ- 
ualism among his players. 

But burned bridges eventually 
stop smoldering, and after two 
thoroughly forgettable Davis 
Cop campaigns, Noah is bade as 
captain and faced with the 
daunting task of trying to sneak 
up on the Americans again. 

This time, he will have to 
make do without Leconte — 
who is more concerned with his 
marriage to France’s only fe- 
male bullfighter, Marie Sara — 
and without a supportive 
crowd, since Sl Petersburg, 
Florida, hasn't been European 
territory since 1818. 

The good news is that neither 
Pete Sampras nor Andre Agassi, 
the world’s tip two players, are 
on the U.S. team. But Noah, still 
sporting beard and dreadlocks at 
age 34, is well aware that his 
team lacks the firepower it pos- 
sessed in 1991, when Forget was 
a fixture in the top 10. 

“Let’s be realistic,” said 
Noah. “If we were Americans, 
we would be the F team or G 
team, not the B team.” 

Last year was the first since 
1976 that a Frenchman failed to 
win a tournament on the main 
circuit, and the first time since 
1978 that no Frenchmen fin- 
ished in the top 30. 

“Bring on the outside I was 
getting more and more angry 
watdung what was happening,” 
Noah sand. “So I decided it was 
better to be on the inside and 
try to make a difference.” 

Though Noah denies it was a 
factor in his derision, be certain- 


ly must have noticed that he bas 
more influen ce inside the tennis 
world than outride. He has not 
played in an official event since 
November 1991, Mien be lost to 
Derrick Rostagno of the United 
Stales in the second round erf the 
Paris Open and, not for the first 
time, promptly lit up a cigarette 
in the locker reran. 

Since then, he has posed nude 
for photographer Richard Ave- 
don, bought and sold a stake in 
a bar near the Champ s-Elys6es, 
played right wing for his Paris 
soccer dub, sailed across the 
Atlantic with his father, lost 20 
pounds in a liquid-only diet and 
done what every aging tennis 
star with charisma seems to do: 
try to become a rock star. 

While his first album sold rel- 
atively well in France, the crit- 
ics have seldom been as kind as 
the sportswriters. His second al- 
bum, “Urban Tribu,” was nei- 
ther a commercial nor an artis- 
tic success. A third apparently 
is in the works, but fra the last 
two months. Captain Noah has 
been busy trying to hit the right 
notes with his frieuds/team- 
mates, including Forget, Olivier 
Ddaitre, Amaud Boctsch and 
Cedric Pioline, wire has done 
precious little since getting to 
the U.S. Open final in 1993. 

With the exception of Roma- 
nia, where Die Nastase runs the 
Davis Cup show, France may 
be the only country where the 
captain attracts more attention 
than his players. In light of the 
laxge and fragile e^os that pre- 
vail in tennis, this is not neces- 
sarily a healthy situation. 

Wien Noah sounded off at 
the Australian Open after only 
rate Frenchman advanced to 
the third found, saying that his 
players were “unprepared” and 
“didn’t know how to win,” his 
comments made for large head- 
lines at home and some wound- 
ed looks from his new charges. 

Bui Noah remains nothing if 
not engaging. Asked recently 
Mat he thought of Ms new role as 
“messiah and savior,” be grinned 
and replied, T like very much to 
be flattered. Waking up in the 
mnramg and gettin g calle d a mes- 
stah is quite pleasant.” 

Seriously? 

“I am very serious,” be said. 
“I love to be flattered. As long 
as we haven’t played, you can 
keep right on doing iL” 

The French start playing Fri- 
day and, if all goes according to 
form, Jim Courier and Todd 
Martin wiB ensure that there is 
no second coming. But the truth 
is that even if Noah’s team some- 
how pulls off another upset, or 
even a string of upsets, this year, 
it won’t be the same as 1991. 

What happened in Lyon was 
precious because it was pure. 
That victory had nothing to do 
with prize money or endorse- 
ments or any of the other com- 
modities that make the contem- 
porary sports world go round. It 
was, instrad, all about friendship.

Back to States 9 Rights 

By Russell Baker 


YORK — Somebody 


_ J on the Brinkley show Sun- 
day asked Governor Whitman 


of New Jersey about the Repub- 
Tevolu 


lican “revolution” and she 
looked uneasy with the word, 
but then went ahead and accept- 
ed it, hedging that, well, it was 
“in scene sense’ a “revolution. 

It was one of the few reassur- 
ing public moments we’ve had 
from a Republican since the 
media and Washington suc- 
cumbed to Noot madness. 


tie American young people 
know their history. 

And the House’s new Repub- 
licans, whether “revolutionaries'' 
or “devolutionaries,” are unar- 
guably young, the steal majority 
having first seen the light m the 
baby-boom years. To those who 
were parents in the baby-boom 
years the cry of “states’ rights!” 
is a call not for revolution, but 
far the preservation of a South- 
ern culture of apartheid. 


Hollywood: Contract With Newt? 


That history explains why the 
states lost so much i 


No Republican worth the 
name can bear the word “revo- 
lution" without at least an inte- 
rior shudder of revulsion. This, 
I fancied, accounted for that 
ever so brief pause by the ele- 
gant Whitman when she was 
asked to acknowledge that she 
was in league with Robespierre. 

Noot himself, however, 
to like the “revolution 


ary” lag. He often manages to 


like one, using inflamma- 
tory excesses that make even his 
press claque wince. By talking 
of “zeroing out” programs, he 
has created a neologism for “li- 
quidating" or “disappearing." 

Revolutionary or not, there 
cmtiw no stopping the Wash- 
ington image projectionists. 
They have latched onto “revo- 
lution,” and “revolution” it is 
going to be until the word loses 
Us power to ratchet up excite- 
ment a notch or two. 


□ 


In the past week some word- 
smiths have been floating the 
word “devolutionary" as a 
Id nite r, gentler alternative to de- 
scribe the Nootish philosophy. 
“Devolutionary” looks and 
sounds lumpish, lacks tire on the 
tongue and needs a professor to 
explain what it means. I predict 
it will fade in the second furlong. 

"Reactionary” would be a 
more accurate word for that part 
of the Republican Congress that 
is in love with "states’ rights.” 
Unsur passion for this discredited 
old doctrine reminds us how lit- 


of their pow- 
er to the Federais. “States’ 
rights” came to mean George 
Wallace, Ross Barnett, Orval 
Faubus, Bull Connor, White 
Citizens’ Councils, Ku KJux 
Klan dynamiters and other hor- 
rific enemies of what Everett 
Dirksen — a truly conservative 
Republican — called “a time 
whose idea has come.” 

People who know what 
“states’ rights” meant just 35 
years ago may admire the Re- 
publicans for taking up that 
threadbare old banner, but they 
Hkn know it’s not “revolution- 
ary.” The proper word is “reac- 
tionary.” This eagerness to give 
states' rights a second chance is 
weird for people who don’t be- 
lieve in parole. 

In Washington the system of 
financing campaigns with PAC 
contributions, which is a form 
of legalized bribery, makes 
members of Congress relatively 
expensive commodities for the 
lobbyist who wants laws written 
his way. Giving federal power 
over big-money matters back to 
the states seems likely Co raise 
the prices state legislators want 
for their votes. 

I speak with mildly facetious 
cynicism, of course, for no seri- 
ous person truly believes our 
state legislators can be pur- 


chased by malefactors of great 
wealth. Consi 


insider, for example, 
the splendid character of your 
own state legislator. You do 
knew who he is, don't you? 
Ah . . . I see. 


Ne w York Times Service 


By Katharine Q. Seelye 

New York Times Service 

W ASHINGTON — Speaker Newt 
Gingrich likes to talk about renew- 
ing civilization, but did he mean Holly- 
wood, too? 

Some in Hollywood think so. The 
movie moguls want to bring him out. 
Not to star in a picture, at least not yet. 
But to star at a gala dinner to give a lift to 
conservatives in Tinsel Town. 

“Newt is a huge celebrity," said David 
Horowitz, an author and former lefty 
who turned right in the early 1980s ana 
now promotes conservative views in Hol- 
lywood through his nonprofit Center for 
the Study of Popular Culture. 

Horowitz dropped in on the speaker's 
press secretary the other day. Horowitz 
met Gingrich a few years ago, after Ho- 
rowitz wrote a book called “Destructive 
Generation,” a critical look at the 1960s. 
Gingrich read the book and invited him 
and tds co-author, Peter Collier, to 
Washington for lunch. “In June, 1 want 
to bring Newt out to Hollywood,” Horo- 
witz told the press secretary, Tony 
Blankley, last Friday. 

Horowitz said he wants Gingrich, Re- 
publican of Georgia, to be the star attrac- 
tion at a dinner with Arnold Schwarzen- 
egger, Kevin Costner, Delta Burke. 
Cheryl Ladd, Gerald McRainey, other 
actors and scores of “wheeler-dealers” 
whom Horowitz said he could not identify 
but nonetheless axe eager to celebrate the 
Republican revolution on Capitol H3L 
Sounds fabulous,” said Blankley. 
“Let's talk.” 

Blankley had no trouble adopting the 
mogul lingo, having grown up in Holly- 
wood and worked as a child actor in such 
movies as “Die Harder They Fall” with 
Humphrey Bogart. 

“Hollywood is moving like crazy,” Ho- 
rowitz went on. “The liberals are all fed up 
with Clin ton. Clinton is over. If s happen- 
ing. Well do Power Rangers. We’ll have 
Newt. If s away of saying. This is the new 
establishment, this is toe new world.'” 

As it happened, Schwarzenegger — in 
town to promote the Inner City Olym- 
pics for poor youths — dropped in on the 
speaker on Tuesday. He said he chatted 
with Gingrich, whom he called “our 
leader ” about the program. 

During a picture-taking session before 
the two went behind closed doors, 
Schwarzenegger was asked what fitness 
advice he might have for the speaker. He 



NktabeAjBu'IHT 


said he wasgiad Gingrich was swimming 
every day. Toe speaker said that if he did 
not exercise he would soon be starring in 
a movie called ‘The Last Couch Potato.” 

“These were two radical movements in 
the ’60s,” Horowitz said in an interview 
after leaving Blankley’s office. “One of 
them nobody ever writes about, and that’s 
the one Gingrich came out of. Now, aD 
those people are in charge of the House.” 

Horowitz sees the new speaker as the 
“breakthrough” personality who can “get 
the attention of non political people.” 

“It’s exactly the reverse of when Jane 
Fonda committed treason and came back 
and won an Academy Award,” he said, 
referring to her visit to Hanoi during the 
Vietnam War. That was a very signifi- 
cant moment in Hollywood. It made it 
acceptable to be extreme left. That ush- 
ered in the era of the Oliver Stones.” 

“We want equal time,” be continued. 
The Republican takeover of Congress 
and the elevation of Gingrich to the 


speakership, he said, "is the break- 
through for a persecuted group of people 
who’ve been driven underground.” 

Horowitz was accompanied by Repre- 
sentative Dana Rohrabacber, Republi- 
can of California, one of two members of 
the House who are surfers, and later had 
lunch with Representative Christopher 
Cent, Republican of California. 

Hollywood’s interest in the speaker 
comes at a time when the speaker is 
demonstrating a strong interest in Cali- 
fornia, as does anyone with an eye on 
electoral politics. Gingrich has appoint- 
ed a special California task force made 
up of Republican members of Congress 
from California. 

“Politically, culturally and economi- 
cally, California is pivotal to influencing 
the direction of the country as a whole,” 
said Rohrabacber. “Newt wants to make 
sure he’s not behind the curve. He’s set- 
ting up his structure so be has input”

Versace Wins Damages 


Gianni Versace received a 
formal apology on Thursday 
and about £100,000 ($ 158 , 000 ) 
in libel damages and legal costs 
from the Independent on Sun- 
day newspaper in London. The 
apology and damages were 
shared with the designer’s com- 
pany; his brother Santo, the 
company president, and sister 
Donatella, the vice president 
Versace had complained about 
an article published in October 
that made allegations about ac- 
counting information and 
about the profitability of his 
London store.

Michael Jackson’s newest al- 
bum, with the working title 
“HIStory,” was supposed to be 
in stores in November. Then it 
was pushed back to February, 
and now a spokeswoman for hjs 
record label Epic, says it is 
scheduled for some time in the 
spring. Jackson has been work- 
ing with rhythm and blues pro- 
ducers and songwriters, but 
they don’t seem to know wheth- 
er he will include, their work on 
his album. Babyface, who wrote 
a ballad for “History,” said, 
“When we're working, we never 
talk about whether the song’s 
going to be on there or not”

When Princess Diana paid 
her first visit to Japan, it was 
with all the pomp of an official 
visit by the Prince and Princess 
of Wales, and enthusiastic 
crowds materialized wherever 
she went. This time around, it 
may be a different story. When 
Diana arrives Monday for a 
four-day visit, her estranged 
husband, Prince Charles, won't 
be accompanying her. The 
schedule hasn’t been finalized, 
but so far there are so plans for 
meetings with top government 
officials or members of the roy- 
al family.
